Verdict
MAKHFAR holds entries in the Mill Reef and Middle Park Stakes and it will be a big surprise if he doesn't get off the mark in this after a very promising second at Ascot last month where he looked the likely winner for much of the trip. War Spirit started favourite over 7f at Goodwood at the start of the month but was beaten when hampered. He is probably capable of better while Speedfiend has shown signs of ability and Sahra Al Khadra should improve for his fifth at Newmarket. Look Here's Al has an interesting pedigree and may prove the pick of the newcomers.
