Verdict
David O'Meara won this last year and Alfred Hutchinson can go well despite his moderate recent form as he's 8lb lower than when scoring here in January. Make Music also won here the same month but is now 10lb higher and hasn't run since May. She's probably warming up for a crack at the Fillies' And Mares' Championship where she finished a very good fourth though she should be winning again soon. Makaarim is up 4lb for winning a lower-class handicap at Wolverhampton but that was only his eighth start and there should be more to come. BOBBY WHEELER won an Ascot maiden last year and was having his first start in over a year when up with the pace for a long way here last month. With that under his belt he's taken to get back to winning ways.
