Despite a penalty, it's difficult to envisage defeat here for DERINTOHER YANK. He didn't look entirely straightforward when successfulover2m1f here last month but is the type to keep on improving as he gains experience. Smart Boy is probably the lost interesting of his rivals as he's had just the two career starts. He was well beaten on both but will have learned plenty from his third at Hexham in March. Winning pointer Dick Darsie never figured on his debut under Rules at Sedgefield and may need more time.
