Verdict
Plenty with claims including Junoesque, who beat Dashing Poet on the Turf course at Lingfield last time. Mullarkey ran well at Nottingham recently and Broad Appeal wasn’t beaten far over a longer trip here having won over 1m4f at Leicester earlier. But LE MAHARAJAH posted his best effort so far on his seasonal debut and first start after wind surgery when runner-up over today’s trip at Yarmouth and another bold bid is expected. Jai Hanuman, Perfect Refuge and Miss Blondell have all been thereabouts on the all-weather though the latter hasn’t raced since December.
