Verdict

Yojimbo is back for another crack having won this last year and finished ahead of Starwatch when fourth over track and trip three weeks ago. Frozen Over never threatened the winner when runner-up here on his latest start but Hunting Rights recorded a cosy win over course and distance last month and should be thereabouts again despite a 6lb higher mark. Lingfield winner Intrepid steps up in trip but should get involved though another chance goes to GHOST RUNNER. Below par on his handicap debut in better company in June, he is expected to show his true colours in this grade.
