Verdict

SHEIK YERBOUTI left previous efforts behind when third in a Wolverhampton maiden a couple of months ago and with the form of that race working out, Grace Harris' charge gets the tentative nod to make a winning start in handicaps. The Coffee Pod finished closer than previously for his current yard last time, so he heads up the opposition, with Dark Sun and Happier taken to fight out third.

5	Tailed off first 2 starts but ran much his best race at huge odds dropped to 5f when third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton 8 weeks ago. That looks decent form (second has won since) so he could be worth chancing to make a winning handicap debut. 1st Pick 5 Sheik Yerbouti Jockey: Ashley Lewis Trainer: Grace Harris J: Ashley Lewis T: Grace Harris	100	-	-	-	10%

1	Has fallen a long way in the weights (last win in 5f York handicap 2 years ago for Richard Hannon off 13 lb higher) and finished closer than previously for current yard having been very well backed when third of 7 at this course (6f, good) 8 days ago. In the mix with a repeat. 2nd Pick 1 The Coffee Pod (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh Trainer: William Muir & Chris Grassick J: Ryan Kavanagh T: William Muir & Chris Grassick	95	-	-	-	50%

4	Finally off the mark in 14-runner event at Bath (5f, good) in June and having lost her chance at the start next time, showed she's still in good form and arguably shaped best when third of 7 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, finishing well. Each-way claims again. 3rd Pick 4 Dark Sun Jockey: Laura Coughlan Trainer: James Bennett J: Laura Coughlan T: James Bennett	97	-	-	-	17%
