In depth
Verdict
YOSHIMI has found one too good in both starts to date with an earlier effort at York and then over course and distance last time looking the strongest form on offer. Richard Fahey’s grey gets the vote to go one better in this. Magna Moralia, Alibaba and Abbotside have all shown a similar level of form with the latter stepping back up in trip today while First Impression makes most appeal of the newcomers as a half-brother to no less than eight winners including a Listed winner in France.
