Yungaburra can come out on top in an open event, with Glasshoughton, Bo McGinty, Divine Spirit and John Keats just a few dangers. This is a wide-open handicap, but Yungaburra was definitely unlucky at Doncaster last week, as his saddle slipped just when Adam Kirby was coming to win his race, and Danny Murphy's charge is taken to make amends. Prior to his latest effort, the three-year-old was third to Bo McGinty at Haydock, and can meet that penalised rival on 9lb better terms. Glasshoughton has topweight to overcome, but battled his heart out to score at Carlisle a month ago, and should go well again despite a rise. His stablemate Divine Spirit has suddenly found his form as well, and will not mind any further rain, while the likes of Swift Princess, Word Perfect and John Keats can be considered for a place at least. A tremendously competitive affair on paper can go to Yungaburra.
