Mr Mac arrives in good form having completed a double over track and trip at the turn of the year but is raised in class today and In The Red is preferred after winning over 7f at Kempton as he remains on a winning mark. MOTAJAASID is versatile as regards both distance and surface having won over 5f at Wolverhampton and a mile at Southwell over the winter - he gets the vote after going close in Class 3 company here a week ago. Dark Alliance and High Acclaim are usually in the mix at this level while Pheidippides returns to handicapping after placed efforts in novice company.
