Verdict

MAKAARIM can register his third victory on the AW in eight starts by taking this competitive looking 7f handicap. The selection was successful on his penultimate start and put in a respectable effort over this trip at Lingfield last time. The wide draw is a negative for the hat-trick seeking Lucymai but she is in good form currently and can finish third ahead of the penalised London who was a scorer at Southwell recently.
  1. Makaarim
  2. Lucymai
  3. London
