Cadeaux Pearl and Mey Blossom are recent course and distance winners but both are upped in class off higher marks. Six Wives makes more appeal than stablemate Sir Geoffrey off her current mark but MISTER MANANNAN is preferred. The latter has tumbled down the weights since last winning at the track and finished ahead of Haajes and Bronze Beau when third at Doncaster last time. Noodles Blue Boy is another looking to exploit a winning mark but Amenable has the worst of the draw and Boris Grigoriev hasn't raced since September.
