2/1
Improved with each of his three outings as a juvenile, and well suited by stepping up in trip to 1m at Chelmsford in October when a 4L runner up to Mister Manduro. This contest is a grade lower, and a further 2f step up in trip looks ideal.

Has beaten just the one rival home in three starts in 7f maidens as a juvenile. Up 3f in trip for his seasonal reappearance and likely battling for the minor honours.

Receives a handy fillies allowance from likely chief threat Makkadangdang, and showed promise over the extended mile at Beverley when 1½L third to Rinaria last week. Well backed on that occasion, she met trouble in the run, and should stay this longer trip in a small field affair.

Like Break The Silence, beat just the one rival home in three starts as a juvenile in 2016. Absent since September and tough to fancy over this new trip.

Forecasts

Alnasl (4/9), Makkadangdang (2/1), Break The Silence (16/1), Cadela Rica (66/1)

Verdict

To all intents and purposes, this race is effectively a match. Tactics will play a key part in the outcome, and it's worth chancing that Liam Keniry can break smartly aboard MAKKADANGDANG and utilise that geldings undoubted strong stamina from the front end, holding enough in reserve to repel his only serious threat, the Archie Watson trained filly Alnasl.
