Verdict

The Best Yet can follow up his latest course and distance victory despite topweight, with the likes of Toppling, and Tappit in with a shout. Tony Newcombe's sprinter has not been caned for beating Byo narrowly here 18 days ago, and connections have decided to wait for this rather than a harder race at York the day before. The race should be run to suit, as he can come off the pace, and he can gain a third course win. Ninth to Fire Up The Band in a hot handicap at Ascot before his latest effort, the five-year-old should mow down Tappit who had the worst of the draw when beaten at Windsor on Monday. Toppling had a better run in that race, finishing less than three lengths behind Devon Flame but might not confirm the form. The rest look up against it and The Best Yet is a confident choice.
