On the Kensington course on Tuesday evening, Yet He Moves is part of a field of 10 and will command support along with The Englishman, who is likely to go favored, and Lyrical Gangster.

Yet He Moves beat maidens in his fourth start in a one-mile race at Gosford Racecourse on Aug. 24 and has had three subsequent starts.

The Englishman won a maiden race at 7 1/2 furlongs at Kembla Grange Racecourse in April and has run well at times in four starts since that win. The Englishman was second by a neck in a one-mile handicap at Kembla Grange on Oct. 7, closing from last of nine. He can also be effective as a stalker, which could be an important tactic in a decent-sized field.

Lyrical Gangster won his debut in April, and has been beaten in last five starts. He was fifth in the same race as Yet He Moves on Oct. 25, beaten two lengths after a slow start. Lyrical Gangster closed from last to be closest to the front at the finish.

There is an eight-race program on the Kensington course beginning at 11 p.m. Eastern or 8 p.m. Pacific. Wagering is available through DRFBets.com.
