Maestro Mac would be the one to beat at his best but things seem to have gone rather awry of late, hence the drop into this grade. Sir Jack landed a course and distance seller two starts back and has since gone well returned to handicap company. He looks a leading contender with Jim Crowley booked. However, it may be worth siding with IL SICARIO who has been performing quite solidly in fair three-year-old handicap company for Mark Johnston. The concern is that he takes a major rise in distance but he should prove tough to beat if staying the additional quarter mile. In contrast, Star Glitter drops in trip and also sports a first-time visor and cannot be discounted.
