Verdict

Compensation awaits MAKEEN, who surely would've won had he got the breaks at Newmarket, an effort which suggests that he's in top form. Ernie's Valentine put in good late work when third at Goodwood last time and, likely to benefit from the return to a stiffer track (sole turf win was gained here as a 2-y-o), he looks a big threat. Maxi Boy is also feared, despite the lengthy absence, and Royal Musketeer, who was a place ahead of the unlucky-in-running Makeen at Newmarket, also has claims.
