YARROOM won a maiden at Wolverhampton as he liked last month. Today's extra furlong shouldn't be a problem and he can go in again on his handicap debut. Party Royal is more exposed but went close at Kempton recently and will be thereabouts again while Ocean Applause will appreciate the drop in class. This is tougher than the claimer King Of Kudos won at here a fortnight ago and Sunblazer is preferred to the remaining trio who all came up short last time a having won their penultimate starts.
