Forecasts
Maksab (10/3), Regulator (7/2), Byron's Choice (4/1), Humble Gratitude (9/2), Gangland (5/1), Three Saints Bay (10/1), Symposing (14/1)
No fewer than four of the seven declared runners were last time out winners, with each and every single one of them reaching a career personal best; therefore, this rates as an ultra-competitive Class 3 handicap. Humble Gratitude might be the first one to discount with slight temperament doubts, whilst the Beverley scorer Gangland is upped noticeably in grade. Byron's Choice is clearly an honest, willing horse so he's massively respected for Michael Dods following a 4lb rise, but MAKSAB managed to see off ten others in winning a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket, and with this essentially being an 'easier' option, he gets the nod.
