Verdict
Maybeme arrives in great form having won over 1m2f at Beverley before narrowly failing to beat Choisan over 1m4f at Ripon last week. The big step up in trip might be a problem however. Raleigh Quay has been tumbling down the weights but has yet to shown any improve for it and is now visored and Strikemaster is more interesting having been placed the last twice, though it's almost two years since he last visited the winner's enclosure. HAYMARKET is still a maiden on the Flat but did win over hurdles last winter so stamina isn't an issue. He can defy a lengthy absence with Joyful Motive probably best of the rest.
