Verdict
MR MADEIT beat Master Workman in this 12 months ago and is fancied to record back-to-back victories, despite carrying 4lb more. Gerald Bailey’s charge came up against a couple of useful performers last time at Warwick and is getting weight from fellow course and distance winner Man Of Steel. Amigo has been in decent form between the flags recently but whether he’ll translate that form back over fences is questionable.
