MANCINI carries a pound more than when a well-beaten third in this last year but he was very much back on song when last seen at Sandown in July and is now owned by Marwen Koukash, the track’s leading owner. Shabeeb wears the same colours but has a bit to prove at present so Daawy may be a bigger danger as he’s been in decent form all summer, despite failing to win, and shapes as though he’ll stay this trip. Overhaugh Street wasn’t beaten far over track and trip last month but races from 4lb out of the handicap in this higher grade.
