Just the four runners and YALTA stands out on his recent debut victory at Goodwood where he made all. Mark Johnston’s colt looked to have plenty left in the tank and an entry in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes suggests there is more to come from him. Orewa remains unbeaten having completed a double over 5f at Beverley with his latest success and Wedding Dress made a winning start when scoring over today’s trip at Wolverhampton. Cullingworth won in testing ground at Redcar in between a couple of modest efforts though this is easier than his latest task at Newbury.
