Verdict

ALESANDRO MANTEGNA is a speculative call against likely hotpots Chapel Flowers and Tempting Paradise. Keith Goldsworthy's inmate does have valuable 3lb conditional, Rhys Flint, in the plate, and while three miles has proved beyond him around here, some of his earlier efforts over shorter stand up to scrutiny.Chapel Flowers is another to drop in trip. He won off a mark of 89 at Newcastle though has gone up to 107 these days. Tempting Paradise is not the most fluent of individuals though he is fairly resolute. Machu Pichu is tried with a combination of first time blinkers and first time champion jockey. The market verdict awaits. Campanile has shown an aptitude for fast ground in the past so some of his efforts on heavy can be safely overlooked. A number of cases can be made for many in this field and we stick with Alesandro Mantegna.
