MISS YEATS is stepping up in distance here but she is taken to follow-up her Lingfield victory last time out. That effort came on her return from a break and she can take this at the chief expense of The Wicket Chicken who ran well when runner-up at Chepstow in October and can reverse that form with top weight Still Believing who finished in front of her that day.
