AN MHI was our selection when scoring easily at Tipperary on Wednesday and though a 5lb penalty would normally be a problem his excellent young rider completely negates the extra. The handicapper has also raised him 9lb so it's no surprise that Joanna Morgan brings him out so quickly. Mnarani was sent to Lingfield to lose his maiden tag at the 20th time of asking and was well supported to do so. He scored with the minimum of fuss but this is tougher. Goldarover has dropped to a fair mark but a 0-18 strike-rate hardly raises the pulse and it could be the lightly-raced The Gave who provides the main threat as she ran her best ever race when dropped to this trip behind Rock On Ciara at Killarney.
