Verdict
Maywake beat previous course winner Lead Story by a neck here last month with Tommy Taylor well behind. There’s little to choose between the first two once again but Sanaadh has been back on a winning mark for some time without looking like taking advantage. ORBAAN (NAP) has been competing in tougher races and slides further down the weights. He won off a 9lb higher mark at York last year and David O’Meara’s charge is taken to return to winning ways back in handicap company today.
