Verdict
Manoubi reserves his best for this track but is still a pound higher than when successful over C&D 14 months ago. I'm Your Man isn't badly handicapped, despite top weight, and should appreciate the switch back to fences but there's a good chance that LAYBACH, second over hurdles at Uttoxeter earlier this month, will prove better over the larger obstacles and it's interesting that Graham Lee keeps the ride on the selection rather than partner Ferdy Murphy's Beau D'Argent. Parson's Punch was fourth over hurdles at Perth last time but doesn't look particularly well treated on his chasing bow.
