Strong stayer Nakeeta never seems to enjoy much luck or get any favours from the handicapper but he’ll probably run his race again and a fast pace is almost guaranteed with all-the-way York winner LORD YEATS in the line-up. The latter is 11lb higher here but looks a resolute galloper who may well appreciate this step up in distance. Jaameh won at Chester with Gabrial's King and Byron Flyer, who met interference, behind but Hot Beat is racing on Turf for the first time in this country after a break and Cape Cova never threatened on his return to action here, though is better than that. Tawdeea is back on a winning mark but enters unknown territory asked to cover an extra quarter-mile.
