    Verdict

    YEOMAN'S only success came over this course and distance in April and he can be forgiven his run in very testing conditions at Thirsk so gets the nod. King's Code has only been raised a pound after scoring by a short-head at Bath while Storymaker makes her handicap debut after two good runs over 7f. Al Tarfa found 1m2f too far at Bath after a better run over this track and trip while I'm Too Tired looks the type to improve on his handicap debut.
