Verdict
Joly Maker is pretty consistent nowadays but a 5lb rise for winning at Stratford puts him on a career-high mark. Mah Mate Bob bids for a third victory in five starts around here so is much respected even though his latest win came over an extra half-mile. Tico Times and RAECIUS FELIX look closely matched on their 1-2 over course and distance six weeks go but Rebecca Menzies’ charge may just come out on top this time.
