Plenty of guesswork needed as to which of these will return to form so a chance is taken on the lightly-raced FURAS. The former Godolphin charge and Kempton winner has joined Ruth Carr and there should plenty more to come from him this year. Can You Conga has slipped down the ratings without showing any benefit so far and Manatee Bay was well beaten off today's mark at Doncaster last time having won a lower grade sprint at Thirsk earlier. Risk 'n' Reward has been winning in plating company though finished nearer last in a handicap in between.
