In depth

Verdict

Manly Money hails from a top yard and can make a winning debut over fences, Fool On The Hill and Narwhal look set go chase him home. The selection is trained by Paul Nichols who boasts an embarrassment of top chasers and Manly Money looks another decent recruit to this game. He scored off a mark of 115 over hurdles back in May and does appear to have been found quite an easy opening here. Fool On The Hill found his chasing feet at Huntingdon last time, finishing an excellent third behind Almaydan and Be Fair. There should be more improvement forthcoming and he rates a big danger. Narwhal had a higher hurdle rating than the selection and looks sure to go well on his chasing debut. However he did put in the odd bad leap over hurdles, so until he proves his jumping he is passed over and Manly Money is the one that gets the vote.
