Verdict

Mcmanaman looks best of Doug Watson's trio though he never got going when tackling this trip for the first time a fortnight ago. Expressionist was a good fourth over 6f the same day, with Hawa Bilady behind, but was well beaten on his only start over this trip. Scots Pine made all over 7f here in November and ran in a Carnival handicap last time while My Swallow, a winner for the Stoute yard at Sandown, should have come on for last month's debut on the track. However, the latter finished runner-up to the former William Haggas-trained KAHEALL at Chelmsford last summer and the latter is handed the vote. Gareth won a minor race on soft ground in France and didn't take to the Dirt on his recent debut here while Nibras Passion has raced in better company and isn't out of this.
