The ex-Aidan O'Brien inmate, Yankee Stadium, continues to frustrate and is now 0-9 despite consistently being there or thereabouts. He has a major chance though with the combination of first-time headgear, the booking of Ben Curtis and the move into handicaps all positives for the son of Galileo. He looks feasibly treated too, but if KYLIE RULES can build on her promising return to action here last month when only a couple of lengths off the winner, then she could prove well handicapped off just 68. Nearly a stone lower than when last scoring in 2019, she's a chance worth taking. The unexposed Tombolo catches the eye on first start for the Fahey team and should be noted in the market, whilst Zihaam goes well here and has place claims.
