Support Fund and Bidable both displayed plenty of ability on their first outings and have to be considered here however we will plump for the more exposed Maker's Mark. The Henry Candy yard have hit a decent spell of form and Maker's Mark has already hit the bar twice. His most recent run came at Salisbury when just getting pipped by Sylvan. This contest doesn't look any stronger and a big run is expected. Bidable made her debut at Nottingham and kept on reasonably well from off the pace to finish third and she should have learnt quite a bit for that first effort. Support Fund finished third in a decent race at Lingfield and hails from a yard amongst the winners. The pick of the others could be Metal Guru, but in what is a competitive start to the card Maker's Mark just gets the verdict.
