YASIR was placed over 2m at Kempton in October and a similar effort should see him go close with Serena Brotherton on board. Guaracha is also partnered by a leading amateur in Simon Walker but doesn’t arrive in the best of form while the veteran Attain is not badly treated but has yet to race over this far. The latter comment also apples to Saga Sprint and Brilliant Riposte but Earthly has placed over today’s distance in the past and went close for today’s rider earlier in the year.
