Verdict

Mythical Madness made a winning return at Yarmouth but is penalised along with Kind Review, who added to an earlier success at Newcastle when winning at Leicester a couple of days ago. River Dawn is 8lb higher having completed a double at Lingfield earlier in the year and Star Of Valour has also been winning on the all-weather but has yet to score on Turf. MAKTHECAT (NAP) can be a little headstrong but will be sharper for a recent outing over 1m2f at Haydock when contesting the lead for most of the way. The drop back to today’s trip will suit and Karl Burke’s charge has more scope than the likes of Confrontational and Monaadhil.
