Verdict
Majestic Manannan won at Pontefract a fortnight ago and is up 6lb while Only Ten Per Cent can race off a lower mark on Turf and was less than a length behind the winner at Salisbury last time. But FREDRICKA looks to have the strongest form given she beat the progressive Classy Anne at Ayr recently and the latter has since won again. Gold Club has tumbled down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
