Verdict
Decoration Of War won twice over hurdles but has found it tough going over fences so far. Sinister Minister led over the last at Worcester last month but got outpaced on the run-in. However, he came up short tried over this trip at that track in July. David Pipe turns out YA KNOW YASEFF under a penalty following a hard-fought win at Newton Abbot on Monday. She’s clearly improved in her second spell chasing and is getting 8lb from the Market Rasen winner Can't Beat History.
