Verdict
David Pipe has a good strike-rate with his runners here and MAX DO BRAZIL is fancied to extend his unbeaten record over fences. He has more scope than his two rivals and has already proved he handles heavy going and a distance of note. Mustmeetalady is now 8lb below his last winning mark but continues to disappoint and is now tried in blinkers. Letemgo has never looked like winning over fences and is returning from a break but will like the going.
