Verdict
Major Snugfit only won a seller at Beverley and has since been well beaten over hurdles, though he holds Inside Intel on the form book. YUKON lacks a change of gear but may outstay Natural Value, who is also still seeking a first victory. Graces Quest requires improvement but is the least exposed.
