We said4th of 11, beaten 1¼ at 5/1
MY MATE MACKLEY 9/4
DREAMBIRD DOLLY is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 1.9 times their share).
MY MATE MACKLEY at 9/4, Adam Kirby and Charles Bishop, is the one I would be with. He drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 5, beaten 1.75L, drops to Class 6 and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are CABEZA DE LLAVE at 9/1 (a course winner) and DREAMBIRD DOLLY at 8/1 (went close off this mark).
