Verdict

A field of 14 separated by only 2lb in the handicap but YMIR is the pick. The selection just failed to make all under today's apprentice in a similar race over 7f at Lingfield latest and his fourth off a 9lb higher mark when last seen over C&D reads well in this company. Mackintosh has gone close at both Wolverhampton and Southwell before and should improve for his recent comeback, with Kadouchski and Custard Cream Kid preferred of the remainder.
