Yagood²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 51

18/5

10/3, first run since leaving Roger Ingram when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Figures on a good mark, so well worth considering for his new yard.

Form: 66380-5

Result Amended

Danking - Original Position 3rd. Amended Position 4th.

Givepeaceachance - Original Position 4th. Amended Position 3rd.

Forecasts

Givepeaceachance (7/4), Yagood (18/5), Star Ascending (7/1), Clog Na Fola (9/1), I'm Digby (12/1), Double Legend (12/1), Lady Of York (14/1), French Mix (14/1), Tulane (16/1), Danking (18/1), Epaneema (80/1), Al Mikdam (100/1)

A trappy handicap in which YAGOOD is taken to build on an encouraging first run for Joseph Parr and capitalise on a handy mark. Givepeaceachance could pose a big threat on the back of her recent winning hurdling form, with C&D scorer Lady of York another to consider in a very open contest.
