A small but competitive field goes to post for this contest. Ephesus won well last time out when defeating Makulu last time out. However strictly on the weights Makulu should gain revenge, however he won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests and he is worth chancing again in the hope that he can improve again.Foxtrotromeoyankee was well behind Ephesus and Makulu last time and he will find it hard to reverse the placings. The remainder need to improve significantly on there latest form to score. But if there was to be a surprise Freeholder is at least from a stable in form.
