The Happy Chappy can be hard work as he often drops himself out and he has little in hand on the front-running Fair Exchange on Sedgefield running. Mogestic was just caught by Seaside Girl over course and distance last month but is 3lb higher now. Tanrudyhas placed twice on the track and could figure if he stays but THE MANUSCRIPT is probably a more attractive proposition, despite his lack of a recent run. Jonjo O’Neill’s seven-year-old appeared to be developing into a useful stayer last year and should be ready to do himself justice.
