Verdict
Trinculo is taken to get the better of Green Manalishi and Judd Street in another wide open handicap. The selection can be forgiven his latest disappointing effort at Goodwood as he was heavily eased down because something was clearly amiss. He is better judged on his previous winning effort at York when he got the better of Orientor. He has the in-form Sylvester De Souza taking off a handy 3lbs today and he should take the beating. Green Manalishi will have Frankie Dettori doing the steering which will boost his claims, and he is eased in grade after a respectable effort at The Curragh last time. Judd Street is a course and distance winner and he should be suited by the return to the minimum trip. He is in fair form and looks to have a solid place chance. Cape Royal ran well in a competitive handicap at Sandown last time and he is the other with claims, but for the winner we will stick with Trinculo.
