Verdict

Tap Tap Boom's latest third at Goodwood is the best form on offer but he's the most exposed of these. Novoman is speedily bred so this may be too stiff a test on debut while though Cj Parker has shown signs of ability, she may fare better in handicaps. MANOLITO DE MADRID (NAP) was an eye-catcher under a hands and heels ride at Sandown earlier this month. He was a bit keen in the early stages but still kept on well in the closing stages and should take all the beating if settling better here. Metronomic wasn't disgraced at Newmarket on debut considering he blew the start. He will almost certainly improve on that here and may be the danger.
