Verdict

Maykir has won three times on the all-weather and all three victories came here including his latest start with the re-opposing Geography Teacher back in third. But PALAZZO (NAP) also beat the latter when runner-up over track and trip and having gone close again at Newcastle last time, Bryan Smart’s charge should make another bold bid. Little India was still beaten out of sight when second over a longer trip at the track while Castle Quarter debuts on the Fibresand on his first outing for Mick Appleby’s yard.
