Verdict
None of these have raced in soft ground so far but MAKYON found only one too good in better company at York on his debut and a chance is taken Mark Johnston’s colt handles the going. River of Kings also raced at York last time though struggled and should do better in this lower grade while Troubador is penalised for a narrow-margin success at Redcar. Rusalka finished closer at the latter track last time and represents last year’s winning yard while Teenar is preferred to stablemate Typsy Toad and also Glory Maker of the newcomers.
