Verdict

MANSONIEN L'AS hasn't raced since finishing second over 4m at Hexham last March but the lack of a recent run is rarely a concern for one from his yard so the nine-year-old gets the nod with none of his rivals boasting any recent worthwhile form. Gibbstown was beaten a long way when second to Newton Thistle at Towcester last month while Heez A Steel and Viking Rebel aren't getting any younger. Cottiers Den took a backward step at Wetherby on Boxing Day and The Shrimp may need to drop a few pounds.
