In depth
Verdict
Mary Reveley's Peartree House is best in at the weights on official BHB ratings and if running up to his form should beat these easily. However, the eight-year-old rarely does that these days and cannot be backed with maximum confidence. Mamore Gap has a nice racing weight but has disappointed of late, while Mana-Mou Bay is inconsistent and has plenty of weight to carry. The Barry Hills-trained Red Forest could be interesting if fit from a three month absence.
