Makkaar starts the campaign on a fair mark and with his trainer in form. He may need further in due course but, if ridden as positively as most of this yard's runners, he ought to give a good account. Fayez and Dragon King are two to note in the ring with both having good cause to perform better than they did last time. Tavener can be expected to run his usual honest race under a positive ride. SABADOR is a rare runner here for his trainer. The form of his last two races has a solid look about it and a 6lb rise in the weights is more than within his scope.
