The first horse to follow at the weekend comes in the Listed Ebor Grand Cup Stakes at York over a marathon trip and Makawee for David O'Meara has plenty going in her favour.
The six year old mare has been highly consistent for the yard, especially this season, running two very credible events ver staying trips and the drying ground will only suit her on Saturday.
She started the term off at Goodwood in a small runner Listed event over 1m4f and was nabbed on the line by the smart Alpinista.
The daughter of Farhh then went on to finish third last time out in a Group Three over todays course and distance and distance and having not been beaten that far she should go well again dropping down in class on quicker ground.
