Manap and Vertice finished practically upsides with Handsome Yank not far behind in fourth when filling the places over 1m2f at Chelmsford recently. But it’s too close to call between that trio in this and BANK HOLIDAY (NAP) is preferred. The latter showed a big improvement when going close over a shorter distance at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut but Richard Fahey’s filly is bred to stay and there looks plenty more to come over today’s extra distance. Sir I'll Chance It was never going behind the selection on his debut for a new yard despite coming in for support and better is expected from him.
