Verdict
This looks a good opportunity for YEADON who is taken to get the better of Hairs Vital and Mrs Jones And Me. This colt from the Richard Fahey yard has shaped with promise in each of his two runs to date and he was clear second behind Bow Beaver at Carlisle last time. He won't have to find much improvement to land this and he should be hard to beat providing he handles the surface. Hairs Vital has had four runs, two of those in France, and his most recent effort was a little disappointing so he has a bit to prove at present. Mrs Jones And Me was well beaten at Beverley last time and although she has hinted at ability previously, she is hard to fancy off the back of her last run when she went off far too quickly before fading tamely. Russian Davis could prove best of the others as he ran well for a long way at Nottingham last time and he is having only his third run today so there may be more to come. However, it is hard to get away from Yeadon who should be tough to beat.
