Yes My Lord is nominated here ahead of Ca Na Trona and Lord Of The Road. The selection was a beaten favourite last time but he was badly hampered that day as he came to make his challenge and he may be worth another chance to make amends today. Ca Na Trona won well last time at Ludlow when getting the better of Super Judge. That run would probably make him the one to beat but he had been disappointing on his previous two starts and although is yard are in good form he gives the impression that he is not one to place maximum faith in. Lord Of The Road is lightly-raced and he ran a fair race when finishing second to Frosty Jak last time. However, he is prone to making bad mistakes and for that reason we will take him on. New Perk won well last time and is the other to consider, but this is more competitive than the race he won last time and we will stick with Yes My Lord who looks worth a bet.
