Yorkidding drops back in distance after a terrific effort in the Chester Cup last week when well ahead of Sir Chauvelin. The latter won this last year off a much lower mark but Corton Lad is penalised having landed a double with a victory over 1m5f here last time when a narrowly beating Kensington Star. Sam Missile should be winning again soon judged on a recent second at Doncaster but AMAZING RED (NAP) also makes the long journey from Newmarket. The latter returned from over a year’s absence with a placed effort at Wolverhampton and Ed Dunlop’s half-brother to the high-class Red Cadeaux can start making up for lost time by landing this.
