YEEOOW only won a claimer at Lingfield on his latest start but he beat Doctor Parkes and can confirm running on much better terms back in a handicap. Karl Burke's charge gets the nod ahead of Saint Pois and Head Space, who both went close in lower grade sprints at Chelmsford and Lingfield respectively on there latest starts and make more appeal than Brazen Spirit. The remaining pair are harder to fancy though Bouclier continues to slide down the weights.
