        Verdict

        Makulu put up a decent showing to win readily over course and distance last time and now he has hit form an 8lb rise might not be enough to stop him. Brian Meehan is in good form and his charge is taken to follow up here. Ephesus came on well when stepped up to a mile last time, winning at the track. However, he does have to prove that he gets a further quarter mile and against some specialists he is overlooked on this occasion. On the contrary Herne Bay will get every yard of the 10 furlongs and should make a bold bid to follow up his recent Southwell success. However, he does not look thrown in on that form and a place might be his best bet. Course and distance winner Decelerate cannot be completely ruled out either, though the handicapper does look to have his measure.
