Day 1 of York's Dante meeting takes centre stage today and here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
York
J: P Mulrennan
T: Miss J A Camacho
Makanah was racing off a mark of 100 when finishing a very good 5th in this race last season and was infact 2nd in this race in 2022 and he looked like has been primed for another big show in this contest. Thing's didn't go to plan for him last year and as a consequence he can run today off a mark of 94, making him look a well handicapped horse. On his season reappearance at Newmarket last month he looked as though the run would bring him on plenty and from what could be a good draw in 22 against the near side rails Makanah can be in the thick of things at the end of the race. Makanah rates a 4 star each way Pick.
