RACING POST VERDICT

This looks likely to develop into a match with preference for MASKARVEL to get off the mark at the expense of Machete Beach.

Racing Post Pick
Maskarvel
Our Expert Tip

The very useful Flat performer MACHETE BEACH won well over hurdles last time and should improve again for that experience.
MASKARVEL looks the main danger, but MACHETE BEACH is a strong selection to open the card.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
