Yorkidding went close again at Hamilton having just missed out in the Chester Cup before that but she’d earlier been beaten over today’s trip at Ripon by MY REWARD (NAP). A 4lb rise for the latter has put him back on the same mark as when winning last year’s renewal and Tim Easterby’s charge should make another bold bid. Parliamentarian looks a threat stepping up in distance for his reappearance having won over 1m6f at Sandown last year while Moorside also attempts 2m for the first time after a modest comeback effort at Goodwood. Paris Protocol is another facing a stiffer test of stamina but Swashbuckle stays the trip and could be in the mix.
