MAKENA is in tremendous form and remains hard to oppose in here search for a five-timer, that has seen her rise 20lb in the weights. Her recent course and distance win was achieved with authority and she has both the speed to win over shorter and the stamina to last home over further, so is adaptable enough tactically and can go in again on ground that suits. Fade To Grey showed signs of a return to form here last time and with McCoy booked he will have some support, while Major Miller fits a similar profile from a top yard and having won from a higher mark over fences. Supernoverre may fare better in blinkers while Winsley Hill has, as usual, frame claims.
