In depth
Verdict
Idilico was second over course and distance in May while Robert Johnson bids for a fourth win in five starts. But collateral form suggests YORKINDNESS should have his measure with the top weight clearly not acting on Polytrack after an earlier win at Pontefract. Belle Of Annandale is consistent but now 0-17 and Baez has also been frustrating to follow.
