Verdict

There's nothing at all wrong with the form of YOKOHAMA's C&D success 2 starts back and he's well worth another chance having seemingly been blunted by softer conditions at Yarmouth subsequently. Redbud Sixteen is still unexposed and merits obvious respect under a 5-lb penalty for her recent Salisbury win, while Tiger and Shady Bay are two other in-form rivals to consider.
