In depth
Verdict
Yanifer opened his account with a victory at Yarmouth while Vitalline won on soft going over track and trip last month. The former is preferred on today’s ground but it could be the turn of WALTZING QUEEN today. Rae Guest’s filly went close when caught close home at Kempton on her handicap debut and is taken to go one better. Wow William may prove best of the remaining trio.
