Yaafour is penalised for an earlier win at Leicester but is rated 85 and should take care of The Throstles on these terms. He’s also preferred to Ocean Voyage, who made a winning start in heavy going at Carlisle. Wajaaha made only a modest debut at Lingfield but CRAVING ran into trouble on his introduction at the same track and could go close with normal luck in-running today. Wissahickon is a newcomer to note for the Gosden yard given he’s a half-brother to a host of winners including the high-class Rainbow View.
