Manomine won last year's inaugural running but is making his seasonal debut on this occasion. Tilstarr won for the first time on Turf in 16 attempts when scoring at Brighton last time and is up in class and it was heavy ground when No Win No Fee won off today's mark at Lingfield in October. Eton Rambler made the frame at Chepstow on his latest start and can figure while Arantes was placed at the same track last week and Richard Hughes takes over the reins today. PRAIRIE TOWN was second at Kempton in January on his only start on the Flat in this country. He has won over hurdles since then and may have enough scope to land this.
