Verdict
MAJOR DUNDEE (NAP) made a winning chasing debut at Fakenham on his return from a lay-off and this extra distance will suit Alan King’s charge. Muckamore was left clear a couple of fences out at Wetherby last time and is only 2lb higher while Wayfinder won at Chepstow last year, though has his first outing since. Equus Dreamer made a promising debut over fences at Ffos Las and is preferred to Tanarpino, who won on faster ground here back in August.
