    Verdict

    MANAGUA is our idea of the most likely winner with Run For Ede's and Peace Corps nominated as players. Mick Channon's charge was thought good enough to try his hand at Group level a couple of years ago and while he has failed to build upon a fair reappearance at Yarmouth, it seems notable that connections have taken their time with him this term. Run For Ede's needs little introduction. A specialist over the trip, he did very little wrong at Windsor last time out. Peace Corps returns to the flat having had a spin over hurdles. He appears to have become much more consistent for the application of headgear. Epsom Salts has tended to run his better races at this time of the season so a market watch is advised. Profit's Reality and Quinsman have to bounce back from a couple of wide margin defeats. Managua is hardly bombproof as selections go but his connections' cautious attitude seems not to be misplaced.
