Sevillano is the one to beat here, with A Little Bit Yarie possibly the one to chase him home. The selection made an impressive seasonal return when beating Harry Up by 10 lengths over six furlongs on good to soft at Leicester and, despite the fact he is dropping back in trip, can still make them all go and rates a solid choice. Baylaw Star won three times as a juvenile but has yet to recapture that form so far this year, and has a little to find with A Little Bit Yarie based on their runs at Thirsk on soft on April 7. Celtic Thunder ran well for a long way in a competitive York nursery on his final start last season and, while he should appreciate the drop to five furlongs, he lacks a run this year. The Linda Perratt pair, Balwearie and One 'n' Only look to have it to do based on what we have seen on the racecourse. Overall, then, Sevillano rates a confident choice.
