Verdict
MACS DILEMMA arrived at Windsor with every chance but failed to find a gap in the closing stages and could only manage third. He gets another chance in this and can confirm latest running with Rhubarb. Fact Or Fable went close over 7f recently and Hot Hot Hot placed over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last time while both Secret Potion and Pastfact won here last year.
