Preview comment:
[COLONEL MAK] Winner of this in 2010 from stall seven, he's back on familiar territory and has come right back to form, winning at Pontefract before only finding one too good at Newmarket. The ground is perfect and David Barron's six-year-old has as good a chance as any on the form book.
Explanation:
COLONEL MAK won the Silver Cup at Ayr in 2010 at 33/1 and was drawn in stall seven on that occasion. His preparation before the race included a win over 6f at Pontefract and then second place in a 6f handicap at Newmarket, half a length behind the winner. So he looks to be showing some good form ahead of the big race.
