      Verdict

      Makai should prove too strong for his main rivals Mujelle and Al Rayanah, with Appreciated worth a second look. Makai was only tried over six furlongs on Turf, his best effort coming at Newcastle in September when he was a very close second to Greek Secret. Mark Johnston then stepped him straight up to a mile for his fibresand debut last month, and he performed quite well in finishing fourth to Twill. The feeling is though that this drop back to seven furlongs will be his optimum trip, and he should make no mistake. Mujelle shaped well on his only appearance here so far when third to Ocean Of Dreams last month, but he looks the type to follow in nurseries, while the same comment applies to Al Rayanah who will qualify for a handicap mark after today. In any case she probably needs a mile already and is passed over on this occasion. Appreciated finished in mid-division on her Lingfield debut and is one to note in the market, especially with her stable in a bit of form. For the winner it has to be Makai
