In his last race, which was over six furlongs, Macedonian finished strongly to see the race out well and get up on the line to win by a short head. Today, he steps up to seven furlongs, and judged by how well he finished that race, seven furlongs looks well within his capabilities. If as effective over seven furlongs as he was in his last race, then every chance he can make light work of the three-pound rise and win again.

At the time of writing, Liverpool have just lost the League Cup final to Newcastle, a few days after being knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by PSG. Could this be the time of the season when they are to go through a bad patch? If so, David Moyes and his team have shown enough to suggest they could do what they did in February 2021 and come away with all three points.
