Verdict
Yeah Baby Yeah was placed in Listed company at Deauville in August but failed to match that form in a couple of subsequent starts and has her first outing since September. GOROKAI may prove a safer proposition as he went close at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and should have the measure of Belle Mare Plage. The latter has an earlier second over track and trip to recommend her but Oak Forest and Kiringa are harder to fancy.
