Verdict
YENSI has presumably had training difficulties since landing a modest polytrack maiden last winter. She previously displayed real promise when filling the minor placing on debut in a fair Nottingham maiden and this looks a reasonable starting point for the campaign. Market confidence would increase confidence. Angelena Ballerina has it to do under topweight and Command Marshal appeals as a likelier threat. A decent hurdler, he benefited from an astute ride from Tom Queally last time and may adopt similar front-running tactics here. He could be tough to pass if allowed to dominate. The ever-reliable Corrib has place claims, whilst Daneside is interesting nearer the foot of the weights as he's unexposed and on a good mark. Whether or not he succumbs to the dreaded bounce factor remains to be seen.
