In depth

Verdict

A quartet against the field here are Aegean Dancer, Turn On The Style, Northern Empire and Yungaburra and the vote goes to the last named. Declan Murphy's charge has done all his winning at Wolverhampton so far, but he showed he acts here when third to Northern Empire here on his most recent start, his track debut. He has a 5lb pull here for a one length defeat by that rival and he looks the one to be on. Aegean Dancer is 1lb better off with Northern Empire after beating that opponent comfortably at Wolverhampton and so should again be able to win that particular argument, while Turn On the Style does act here, but looks best at Lingfield and is also contending with a stiff enough mark, so Yungaburra gets the vote.
