Verdict

It's likely we haven't seen the best of LA YAKEL, who is still low mileage and made a very pleasing return here last month. He is fancied to score. Andaleep and Scampi have acquitted themselves really well this term and are also expected to make their presence felt.

  1. LA YAKEL
  2. ANDALEEP (IRE)
  3. SCAMPI
