Verdict

HIT MAC took a step forward in form terms despite still looking a little rough around the edges when runner-up on handicap debut at Lingfield (5f) 8 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come back up at 6f, she could be the answer. Alafdhal arrives on the back of his best effort of the year when scoring over C&D recently and rates a big player also under a penalty. Araifjan and Marwari can also figure.

  1. HIT MAC (IRE)
  2. ALAFDHAL (IRE)
  3. ARAIFJAN
