Verdict
A couple stand out on recent form. But Makambe found one too good at Leicester recently despite dropping down in class and will need to dig a bit deeper in this company and CLAUDINE is preferred. The latter was having only her second start of the year when fourth at Leicester last month and Henry Candy’s filly should be spot on today. Ravenhoe drops back in trip and can figure on his day while Pick A Little has a shout on last year’s success at Brighton but Baashiq has yet to show any improvement for a slide down the weights.
