Danger Alert has switched yards after winning over the minimum trip on soft going at Chester while Rock Of England scored at Hamilton before placing at Ripon. MR WAGYU (NAP) hasn’t won since landing a premier handicap on a trip over to Ireland last summer but is 5lb lower today and a good effort in the Wokingham at Ascot last time points to a big run in this. Music Society placed at Pontefract for last year’s winning yard having earlier finished runner-up over track and trip with Tinto back in fourth and that pair are preferred to Zaman Jemil.
