Verdict

A highly-progressive dual winner as a 3-y-o, LA YAKEL ended last term with a solid fourth behind re-opposing Al Nafir in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket in October. Meeting that rival on 8 lb better terms, there's surely more to come on the back just 5 career starts and he can make a winning return. Al Nafir should step up on his effort at the Royal Meeting and is feared, with 3-y-o Struth and Saratoga Gold completing the shortlist.

  1. LA YAKEL
  2. AL NAFIR (IRE)
  3. STRUTH (IRE)
