Mark Johnston’s runners are always worth noting making the long journey from North Yorkshire and AL MANHALAH is the first foal of a Group 3 winner. She may well prove good enough at the first time of asking. Hard Taskmaster is a half-brother to three winners and another to consider ahead of the Hannon colt Its The Only Way, Pocket Dynamo and Dark Panther. Knockabout Queen represents an in-form yard but was well beaten at Wolverhampton on her recent debut.
