      Verdict

      MUFFIN MCLEAY saves his best for this venue. A course and distance winner, he found only Maybeme too good over track and trip in June and David Barron looks to have found a good opportunity for him today. Recent Pontefract winner Woodacre is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark while dual Polytrack winner Miguel Grau has yet to race on Turf and is 7lb higher than his latest win at Kempton. Eeny Mac has plenty to find with the selection but Life And Times could bounce back at any time.
