Verdict

A winner at Chepstow, Makambe failed to cope with a 4lb rise on his latest start. Kempton winner Paco's Prince escaped a penalty but was still well beaten at Windsor last time and it remains to be seen if Recollect can do any better than the former pair raised 4lb for winning over track and trip. Novice winner FABIANSKI makes her handicap debut having been beaten less than a length at Windsor last month despite finishing only fifth. The winner has subsequently landed a handicap and Pam Sly’s filly is fancied to make a bold bid on that form.
