Manor Park has gone close on several occasions this year but is struggling to get his head in front. FINALSHOT had excuses on a return visit to Uttoxeter having won at that Midlands track earlier. He has placed over track and trip in the past and this might not take much winning. Method Madness has a lengthy absence to overcome but Coastguard Station may have a bit more to offer this season and Fight For It was a winner here in May and is fit from the Flat.
