A shocking contest to start the evening with and we will take Fleetfoot Mac to score. It won't take much winning this and as one who has shown winning form on heavy ground and who is also coming here off the back of a good enough run in the context of this race then he looks capable of going in. Raygale is another who acts with plenty of cut although has not been seen out for a couple of seasons now. If straight enough after that absence he could come into calculations, while both Loblite Leader, another coming back from a lay-off, and Maraud are just about the best of the remaining bunch. That's not saying much though and we take Fleetfoot Mac to score.
