Race preview
Wee Fat Mac hasn't finished out of the top three on each of his last three starts at this venue and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. However, it may pay to side with SIR MAXI, who beat a subsequent winner by a head over C&D earlier in the month and only has a 3lb higher rating to contend with. If the seven-year-old remains in the same form, he will prove tough to beat. Biplane looks best of the rest.
