        Verdict

        Maktavish, Fyodor and Magic Glade are the three to consider here and Maktavish gets the nod to follow up a recent success. A winner at Wolverhampton and Redcar recently, Fyodor continues to run well and was a good second last time. He must go well and is respected. Magic Glade has some top form to his credit and although it has been a while since he won he has been highly tried of late and can appreciate the drop in grade and can make his presence felt. Maktavish had been running disappointingly before flying home at 33-1 at Musselburgh last time. He has come down the weights recently and after that confidence booster can score again. Maktavish is the selection.
