Verdict

An ultra-competitive handicap. MAKING HEADWAY is one who should have more to offer now stepping up to 2½m so he's the suggestion on the back of his good run in the Imperial Cup. If the refitting of a hood helps Ocastle des Mottes to settle better he could pose a big threat. Kateira, one of five for Dan Skelton, bounced back to form at Kempton recently and ran a blinder at this meeting last year so she's also on the shortlist along with Formby winner Jango Baie and Fergal O'Brien Kamsinas.
