Two Auld Pals won over a shorter trip at Hamilton recently but stays this far and can figure again. Yorkindness has now won both starts over track and trip so far and is preferred to Catterick winner Easter Icon while Miss Cynthia has been knocking at the door and drops down a grade along with BLACK KALANISI. The latter struggled on his reappearance and first start for Ian Williams’ but has every chance on last year’s second at York and gets the vote in an open contest.
