Verdict
Yukon Mission has been knocking on the door but was only third behind BOWLING RUSSIAN at Lingfield and it may be worth sticking with the top weight, even though George Rooke can only claim 5lb. Van Dijk’s second over 7f here last month was his best run to date while With Virtue is an unknown quantity having run just three times on Turf last summer. Lord P has won on Fibresand and Polytrack this year and Lakeview was well backed last time here and remains unexposed.
