River Wharfe has switched yards since going close over 7f here when finishing in front of both Wudashudacuda and Patsy Fagan. The latter finished runner-up in a lower grade contest over track and trip earlier but Dacesa wasn’t beaten far when fourth at the track on only her second start for new connections and makes more appeal. PROPAGATION (NAP) and Rosemary And Thyme make their handicap debuts and the former will be sharper for a recent reappearance. An apprentice’s allowance helps his cause and Charles Hills’ yard is in flying form.
