      Verdict

      YAGAN started odds-on to land a four-timer here on his first start over 2m. He found one too good on that occasion but looks worth another try if returning to his more usual front-running style. Amalfi Bay missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up over 1m6f at Salisbury but is not out of this while Arabescato was narrowly beaten on an earlier outing on the Turf here and is preferred to both Tindrum and Spanish Persuader.
