YEAGER missed an engagement in a tougher handicap here on Tuesday and this faster ground will suit. Jeremy Noseda's charge has every chance on his earlier second in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar to Fire Fighting, a close-up third here in Tuesday's race. Angelic Upstart and Highland Duke have won the last two renewals but neither have scored since and Presburg makes more appeal on a nose defeat at Sandown last week. I'm Fraam Govan went close at he same track last time but Ifwecan never figured here on Tuesday and Illusive steps up in class on the back of a couple of placed efforts.
