Verdict

Jockey Dave Mansell comes back down to earth after his famous victory on Eskleybrook at Sandown last Saturday, but will fancy another visit to the winner's enclosure here, courtesy of Tejano Gold. Formerly with Sue Wilton, the 13 year-old last ran under rules back in November 2000, but the best of his form entitles him to start favourite. Line Apple is the dark horse, having been a prolific winner in France, and at six, has the scope to develop into a Foxhunters' contender. Warner For Players is fully exposed, and will no doubt find this trip on the short side, but connections will be disappointed if they cannot place him to good effect in this sphere over the next few months.
