Verdict

Yukon Mission keeps finding one too good in handicaps and has now had 16 starts without winning. AVA GO JOE showed potential when narrowly beaten at Catterick in October and almost made a winning reappearance when caught in the closing stages at Musselburgh. That was only his third start and normal progress can see him go one better. Motorious hails from a yard going well and has shown promise in both starts to date so has to be respected along with The Cooler King, who made £50,000 at last year's Breeze-Up but has yet to run.
