NOBLE MANNERS has the best form by some way and should come out best if staying this extra distance. She was caught close home at Beverley last time and the third-placed horse has subsequently won. It’s hard to make a case for any of the others with racecourse experience so a newcomer will likely prove a bigger threat. Bustam cost £130,000 at the sales in April while Mont Kinabalu is related to a Listed winner and John Kirkup is a brother to a couple of winners and preferred to stablemate Jackontherocks.
