Verdict
Rated 79, COMPUTABLE should be winning this. Tim Easterby’s colt drops in class after a modest effort at York and has a bit in hand on these terms with Sheepscar Lad, whose earlier second at Beverley was his best effort to date. Brighton second Lightoller and Emerald Secret have even more to find with the selection but Ashurst Beacon and Gokena are likely improvers on the back of recent debut efforts.
