Sent off a short price when winning a match race at Brighton (1m, good-to-firm) by 24L in August. Has run well twice since and likely to prove hard to beat having been gelded since his last start.

Forecasts

Ferik (11/8), Macaque (7/4), Lifeboat (5/1), Get Back Get Back (15/2), Illustrious Spirit (14/1), Para Mio (14/1), Society Secret (33/1), Flor De Seda (33/1), Island Fox (50/1), Homing Star (66/1), Jenny Ren (100/1), Deolali (100/1), Harry From Havana (100/1)

MACAQUE can register his second victory in six career starts by taking this three-year-old only contest. The selection has been gelded since his latest outing and having run to a decent level of ability as a juvenile he can get the better of Ferik who is debuting for a new stable today. Lifeboat represents a yard in form and he can finish third on seasonal debut.
