Verdict

MAKHFAR has the best piece of recent form having suffered a head defeat over track and trip. Mark Usher’s charge should go well again. Sakhalin Star drops back in distance after placing over 1m2f at Wetherby and can figure with a similar effort while the veteran West Leake has a shout on an earlier third at Lingfield. The Firm has won over course and distance in the past and is back on a winning mark.
