In depth

Verdict

YORKINDRED SPIRIT has finished nearer last than first the last twice but Johnston inmates frequently bounce back from below par performances and if the Sea The Stars filly can repeat the level of her Newcastle victory and Beverley runner-up effort in early June, she'd be tough to beat. Whether she can do so is open to question but she's a risk worth taking, albeit to small stakes. Gay Kelleway has secured the services of Frankie Dettori for the consistent Phoenix Beat and the combination should go close, whilst Wings Of Esteem, Refulgence and Princesse Eva all have their chance and are preferred in that order as the Burke filly could have more to offer after just four starts.
