Perfect Charm was well behind Haveoneyerself when chasing a hat-trick at Yarmouth and John Butler’s charge has leading claims in this. Awsaaf has won back-to-back races on Tapeta but has yet to shine on Turf. Princely has been knocking on the door and Thegreyvtrain is not out of this but ESSAKA thrives on these turning tracks and Tony Carroll’s seven-year-old may be lined up for another success with Sophie Ralston taking off 3lb.
