Formscan  - LA YAKEL had a perfectly valid excuse for his Shergar Cup defeat when his rider Joao Moreira appeared to feel something go amiss at a crucial point. The four-year-old has been given a month to recover and remains capable of further progression based on his return effort when runner-up at Ascot in July. Symbol Of Light ran with plenty of credit on his debut for Julie Camacho at Newcastle and is respected up in trip. Akhu Najla is now tried in blinkers and could bounce back from an ordinary York performance.
