Verdict
A keen betting heat with a number of in-form rivals in opposition but Maycocks Bay, who has scanned in foal, was a most impressive winner at Nottingham last week and a 5lb penalty may not prevent the follow up in this higher grade. Sawwaah returns from a long absence and has clearly had his problems but is a well-bred type and it is interesting that connections are persevering with him. Gingko has been raised 9lb for an easy success at Windsor and may struggle while Analyze is an infrequent scorer and Night Sight needs further.
