Formscan  - Yermanthere is easily overlooked only 3lb higher than when successful over C&D last month. Qitaal was not far behind the former in second and could also make his presence felt, but preference is for the unexposed filly WILD VIOLET. The daughter of Zarak has improved with every start culminating with a novice victory at Salisbury and she could prove better than her opening mark now handicapping.
