In depth

Verdict

One of three course and distance winners in the field, Kevin Ryan's Yes One should appreciate the return to the Polytrack having disappointed at Southwell last time and he gets the vote to resume winning ways with the main dangers rated as High 'n Dry and Justcallmehandsome. The last mentioned is another course and distance winner and has been running well this winter but the six-year-old has a career high mark to overcome now and may be a shade high in the weights. Karl Burke's Not Another Cat is less exposed than most of these and has to be considered along with Linda Perratt's Mystical Ayr, who is though making his debut on the surface and lacks a recent run. High 'n Dry appreciated the step up to a mile when back to winning ways at Lingfield last time and has to be respected under his 6lb penalty today but preference is for Yes One, who is taken to resume winning ways back on the Polytrack today.
