      Verdict

      Yasir has been in good form this year and won over 2m here earlier in the month with ATALANTA BAY back in third. But the latter was having only her second start since 2014 on that occasion and, having won over today’s shorter trip at Wolverhampton in the past, Marcus Tregoning’s mare may well turn the tables with Yasir. Maria's Choice popped up at 16/1 over 1m4f at Brighton but carries a penalty while Theydon Bois appeared not to stay the 2m trip at Yarmouth last time, though had gone close over 1m4f before that. Medicean Queen makes her handicap debut and Sov has shown nothing since winning a maiden back in 2014.
