Verdict
Suzi's A Class Act had gone 13 starts without a win before scoring by no less than 16 lengths at Yarmouth last week. She's due to go up by more than her 6lb penalty after today but has to prove her victory was no freak result and GRANDAD MAC is preferred. He had the latter behind when runner-up at the same track last time and gets the vote to confirm running on better terms. Vexillum is yet another who ran at Yarmouth on his latest start but steps up a grade on the back of an easy win. Abundantly should stay the longer trip after her latest second at Chepstow and looks best of the rest.
