Verdict
MR YEATS has won previously at Huntingdon and despite a couple of mistakes, he saw out matters well at Ludlow. Ratoute Yutty has proven form over track and trip and the mare has struck up a decent partnership with today’s rider. Matchmaking is another graduate of the Sir Mark Prescott academy and though he’s had his problems, he won well for new connections at Southwell in April. Bomber's Moon is a long-standing maiden and this will be his first outing since flopping over fences in December.
