Verdict

Though a teenager, MY MANEKINEKO shows no signs of slowing down. He ran well over hurdles at Downpatrick last month having won earlier over fences at Navan. Sigurd beat Ballyrath by 10 lengths at Wetherby and Brian Hughes keeps the partnership intact. Chef D'oeuvre, the only previous winner in the line-up, will be staying on when others have cried enough and Gleno has been steadily running into form. Light Flicker has won twice this season but races off a career-high mark in this.
