In depth
Verdict
Bewitchment just edges it on official ratings having 3lb to spare with Nelson's Pride. But there's not a great deal between that pair's placed efforts and James Tate's excellent strike rate at this track swings the vote in YAJAMILA's favour. The latter was beaten only a length at Chepstow last month and is expected to handle the surface. Tez floundered in soft ground at Leicester last week but makes more appeal than the remainder on her earlier fourth at Doncaster.
