MR YEATS has been raised 10lb since winning at Ludlow in May but his stable have kept themselves in decent form in the interim period and he can defy the assessor's attentions. Gold Leader won readily off a mark of 82 at Uttoxeter but the mare was probably held when departing at Worcester next time around. Lelantos has to be respected given connections while Jovial Jack sneaks into the handicap proper and makes a second start for Paul Midgley having left Gavin Cromwell. Eightytwo Team is a long-standing maiden but the mare was the subject of strong market confidence when falling at Uttoxeter last month.
