2:45 Yarmouth – First person to place an unexposed Prescott score steps up

Last seen completing five lengths after Yonafis, currently ranked 91, the three-year-old has a score of just 66 and is sure to improve to beef up the endurance test.

Among others, Appier hit four timers earlier this season and should be good for apprentice driver Harry Burns.

Ashoka is the class that takes place in Worcester in FBC Manby Bowdler Handicap Hurdle (7:05)with Tristan Durrell scoring a precious 7lb for the Dan Skelton team.

Fergal O’Brien may also have a favorite, with Accidental Rebellion chase a table three hours after wins over Ludlow and Uttoxeter.
