Virgin Bet Handicap
5f 3y
Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneIn a wide-open event the marginal preference is for MAKANAH, who returns to handicap company for the first time since finishing second at Musselburgh in August. The six-year-old is only 1lb higher in the ratings today and plenty of promise can be taken from his most recent effort in a conditions event. Dakota Gold has dropped to a workable mark and he should not be underestimated, despite having to carry top weight. Boundless Power only found a high-class rival too good in the Portland here last month and he has subsequently won at Ascot, while Indian Sounds and Raasel are others to note.
