Verdict

Green Manalishi has the form in the book to take this, but Bygone Days, Dancing Prince and Jaolins all hail from stables capable of sending out juvenile winners and any one of the trio can cause an upset. Green Manalishi was given a break after his first two starts and came back refreshed enough to run into a place here at Lingfield and in his first nursery at Haydock. He has been hard to place but this expensive purchase continues to show enough to stick with. It may turn out that he is too highly handicapped but we are prepared to give him another chance back in maiden company. Son Of Rembrandt has been kept busy but he too is beginning to look exposed and it may pay to concentrate on one of the others as a possible danger. Bygone Days shaped well enough behind Moss Vale at Windsor to suggest a bold show, with the drop back in trip likely to be in his favour. For the winner though, we return to Green Manalishi who is given one more bit at the cherry.
