Latest win at Newcastle in March. 13/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 60 days ago, going off too hard. Not out of things.

14/1

Forecasts

Makeen (10/11), Barney's Bay (7/2), Broken Spear (6/1), Dulla Bhatti (15/2), Gobi Sunset (8/1), Ulshaw Bridge (10/1), Merricourt (14/1)

MAKEEN should be suited by the return to this shorter trip and can resume winning ways. Dulla Bhatti and Merricourt can also make their presence felt.
