Racing Post verdict
Third-partyYoulita is the clear pick here, returning to hurdles on a mark that looks lenient given his spring chase win, and the trip and sound conditions suit well. Silly Mongoose is the main danger — he won a maiden hurdle last time and is still on the upgrade as he settles into handicap company, wearing a first-time hood. Eastmore has been remarkably consistent, rarely out of the frame in recent starts, while Mo Ghille Mar is a winner with more in hand on her best form. Youlita is our selection.
