Yashin can finally get a chance to get his head in front with Kentucky Bullet and Teutonic both worth noting in the market. Yashin has been a little frustrating of late but although a disappointment last time out he is better judged on his two previous runs which were creditable. He has to be lead down at the start as he has bolted in the past but he generally travels well in his races. Kentucky Bullet was second beaten by Dexterous over course and distance on his penultimate start but was very disappointing last time out so is to be treated with caution. Teutonic ran well enough when fourth at Wolverhamton last time out so is to be respected. But for the winner we return to Yashin.
