YANGTZE got off the mark when stepped up to 1m6f at Sandown and there should be more to come from Sir Michael Stoute’s charge. Space Mountain may also improve further having won over 1m4f at Beverley recently but Tenzing Norgay’s winning run came to an end when well beaten at Doncaster and he’s upped a further 3lb. Sbraase is not the easiest to win with and looks stuck on his current mark while the form of both Knight Music and Street Artist has tailed off recently.
