BIG TIME MAYBE scored over course and distance last year when Wings Of The Rock was well beaten. He made another bold bid back here in February and Tom Dascombe’s charge gets the nod ahead of the returning Kyllachy Dragon. The latter was beaten only a neck in a more competitive sprint at York in October with Savalas behind and can go close but Makanah was well beaten in a novice event on the same card on the Knavesmire and makes his handicap debut.
