YNYS MON should complete a double on the card for Charlie Hills as he has been unlucky to come up against some useful juveniles in his three runs to date. The form of his last two races, in particular, looks strong and he is getting 6lb from Nottingham scorer Hua Hin. The latter is a half-brother to winning sprinter George Bowen so should have more to offer but this task may just be beyond him. Mark Johnston’s Yellow Fire is the obvious one to note among the newcomers being a son of Exceed And Excel but the £68,000 purchase Boa Nova is also worth a market check.
