Not the strongest of contests, with all eyes perhaps predictably drawn to
Natch given his trainers rather impressive record at this track (18 from 45; 40% overall, and 5 from 8; 63% in 2018). However, the jury is out on him with regards this longer trip, and the penalised
YABASS makes more appeal on pedigree. Only his trainer will know the reason why he has been absent since racing at Lingfield in October, and the market might help fill in some blanks, but with an equally fair Newcastle record of 4 from 15 (27%), he's taken to provide his fast emerging trainer with another synthetics winner to add to an ever growing tally.
