Honor Oak has had a busy year but showed no sign of wear and tear when a close second to the in-form Super Focus last month. She's gone up 4lb but should still get competitive. Our Manekineko looks to have been given a chance by the assessor having been dropped 5lb in his last two starts and is just 1lb higher than his last victory in March. ARBOURFIELD( NAP) arrives in fine form having won over track and trip in September and producing two fair efforts subsequently. He's surprisingly been dropped 3lb and is back on a very fair mark. Three Majors gained a surprise victory in September and might just have needed last month's run but this looks a stiff task for the three-year-old Shoofly.
