YABASS was set a stiff task in Listed company at Haydock last month having made a winning start at Windsor earlier. He could go close at this level despite carrying a penalty. Bowditch also faces an easier assignment after failing to figure in a conditions race at Epsom and is weighted to beat Levante Player while Imminent Approach is a likely improver. Elegiac is related to winners and a newcomer to note.
