Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away.

Verdict

This is effectively a drop in grade for YACOWLEF, who performed creditably in maidens at major festivals on turf the last twice. He holds leading claims on form and is taken to get off the mark. Skallywag Bay, Eternal Fame and Dance Acclaim look the biggest threats, in that order of preference.[Steve Boow]
