Verdict

A winner in testing ground at Lingfield, Up Four It was tailed off back at the same track last time. Song Of The Night also has to be forgiven a poor effort at Wetherby having placed in all three starts prior to that so the vote goes to YUKON DELTA. The latter landed a double at the end of last year and was running his best race since when unseating a couple of hurdles from home over track and trip last time. The remaining pair look up against it in their current form.
