Verdict

Mark Johnston was in unstoppable form at York last week and completed a five-timer on Friday. The final leg of the quintet was YORKIDDING, who stepped up to 1m4f to win going away and looks certain to be suited by tonight's trip so can follow-up under a penalty. Game Show has a similar profile and Mercy Me was receiving 12lb from him when beating him two lengths at Leicester so Charlie Appleby's charge can reverse the form. Singular Quest has yet to win and tackles this trip for the first time while Havisham has plenty to do on his handicap bow and Shadow Rock has climbed the weights without winning.
