Admiral Rooke went close at Hamilton last time and Ventura Gold was placed over a longer trip at Nottingham recently. Aliento has been thereabouts over today’s trip and has decent claims and Jackpot Royale is another with a shout back in this grade in an open contest. But MAKE ME is the least exposed and though still well beaten when third at Haydock last time, Tim Easterby’s charge is expected to improve now handicapping and make a bold bid.
