        Verdict

        YAGAN drops back down in distance bidding for a hat-trick but has little to beat in this. Sir Mark Prescott’s charge landed the odds over 1m6f at Bath just three days ago and can shrug off a penalty. Blue Beret was placed yet again when second at Wolverhampton though finished in front of Roby Mill while Keeper makes his handicap debut having shown little so far and the remainder are even harder to recommend.
