Ascot Day and Yalawin are progressive. The Simcock runner has to prove his effectiveness on turf and at this level of competition. Yalawin could hardly have been more impressive and, despite the handicapper taking few chances, he undoubtedly has the scope to make the progress needed to produce the career best that will be needed to grab this. Evergate is creeping up the weights without getting his head in front and that makes his prospects less obvious in what appears to be his most searching test of the campaign. YALTA represents a trainer who can do no wrong at present. His defeat of The Last Lion in the Molecomb Stakes earns him topweight but this Kings Stand entry, who likes to make the running, may have too much speed for his rivals.
