YORKSHIREMAN (NAP) is the one most likely to run his race with Jack Garritty's claim negating a 3lb rise for his latest course and distance win. He beat Lacey last time and had finished ahead of Stoneham before that. The latter has since missed out by only a head over track and trip but Kempton winner Par Three has been well beaten subsequently and stablemate Easydoesit still looks high enough in the weights on last year's evidence.
