Espoir Moriviere was also returning from a lay-off when winning this off the same mark last year. Manetti went close over track and trip back in April but I’M ON SNAP has the more recent form. The latter wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Hereford in a first-time tongue-tie and Tom Lacey’s charge looks worth another try over this extra distance. Permission Granted posted one of his better efforts when third at Perth last month and makes more appeal than Flaming Glory.
