Manana Manana comes into this in good spirits and Breakevie is one to note now stepped up a furlong but for us SOLIS looks best. The gelding has been in much improved form of late and was a winner over 7f at Warwick recently. He was second at Newcastle over 6f last time and stayed on well. This move back to 7f today should prove beneficial and see him back to winning ways. Manana Manana had first outing on turf last time and showed up a lot more encouragingly for the applications of blinkers. He was stepping down from a mile and looked well across the 6f and looks placed to strike now moved up a furlong. Breakevie finished behind the earlier mentioned at the last time of asking and a similar result looks likely today. She is one to note now stepped up in trip but will be relying on good ground if she is to do well here. Asserting did enough last time to suggest she has trained on, the slight step up in trip could be of benefit but she has proved to be rather inconsistent in the past and may be best watched. A market check is advised as the bare form offers very little clue to the rest. Solis has solid claims and is preferred.
