Verdict

Willjojo showed enough on her debut on the all-weather at Wolverhampton to suggest that she can win races but this is probably no better than that race and, at the forecast odds, we prefer the claims of Busted Flush, who gets the vote over another of the more experienced runners Intitnice. Jamie Osborne's juveniles normally improve with racing so it was no surprise to see Busted Flash run his best race so far on his most recent start when finding just City General too good in a similar contest at Yarmouth. That was over seven furlongs though and the son of Desert Sun may not have stayed so the drop in trip to six furlongs should suit. Intitnice was a creditable sixth of 12 in a decent York seller last time and is entitled to be thereabouts provided this does not come too soon after that race. Yarmouth second Philly Dee, who disappointed at Hamilton in a soft ground maiden last time, looks the best of the remainder.
