Verdict
Course regular Angel Palanas has won over 7f here but has yet to race over further while Makambe arrives in good form but this is tougher than when second over track and trip last month. DIRECTORY (NAP) was beaten only a length by Samphire Coast at Chelmsford last time but re-opposes on better terms. Returning to the Fibresand for the first time since scoring by four lengths over course and distance in May, James Eustace’s charge gets the vote. Azzeccagarbugli and Tukhoom are closely matched on latest running at Wolverhampton while Glory of Paris debuts on the surface.
