Verdict
FUEL INJECTION finally took advantage of a slide down the weights to win at Catterick last time and end a long losing run. He remains on a winning mark judged on his earlier successes and can go close again. Kuanyao has something to find with the selection on earlier running but Pabusar looks a threat having posted a much better effort over track and trip last week. Ya Boy Sir won twice over course and distance last year including this contest and beat Henry Morgan on both occasions while Very First Blade can race off a lower mark but has yet to win on Turf in 21 attempts.
