        Verdict

        Manhattanville drops back down in trip having landed the odds over 7f at Newcastle and Boondoggle dead-heated for first at the same fixture when successful over today’s trip. Gift Horse’s earlier win came over the minimum distance at Wolverhampton while MYSTERY FOX was sent off favourite at Yarmouth on his debut but missed the break and never figured. Roger Varian’s colt will know more today and gets another chance. Brazilian Beach is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
