We will forgive YA BOY SIR an off day at Doncaster last time and on his return here we will take him to get back in front. Noel Wilson's colt won at Musselburgh in June and then here from 7lb higher last month, both over this trip. He handles good ground or slower and he was clearly off colour when it was quicker on Town Moor. Rio's Girl is 2lb higher than when beating Mandarin Spirit last time, so there will already have been a formline for this one on the card, while Taborcillo ought to show more from a mark of just 62. Midget finished behind our pick here and still has a bit to find and we will stick with Ya Boy Sir. (Jonathan Doidge)
