Considering he ran loose before the start, Yeomanoftheguard did remarkably well to win his maiden here last month. He must have a chance if behaving himself here but FERRYVIEW PLACE was very well backed at Dundalk two weeks ago and connections will be looking to recoup losses. Held up, he was never on terms with the leaders on that occasion but earlier form on the Polytrack suggest he'll be a major player in this grade. Cheers For Thea is well treated on her best form and should take advantage of a plunge down the weights before much longer but Ruth Carr's French import Gran Maestro is best watched on his UK debut and Idol Deputy seems to have lost his way.
