In depth
Verdict
Manorbier is undeniably well handicapped at present and is better than his recent form figures would suggest and has to be on the short list in a keen betting heat. Rafters Music is another who has shaped as though retaining all of his ability and should also go well although he is still 5lb higher than his last winning mark. Sussex Lad has been a model of consistency of late and is another to consider along with the remarkable Juwwi who can never be ruled out in a race of this nature but a tentative vote goes to Full Spate. Milton Bradley's charge will relish the conditions who is back on a winning amrk and will appreciate the extra furlong after staying on over the minimum trip last time.
