      Verdict

      Best Example proved a big disappointment at Brighton last time and has some improving to do to get the better of MANSHAA. The latter was beaten less than a length at Chester last time and can open his account in this. Pafiya finished a long way behind the selection at Chester and Frosty Flyer was well beaten at Haydock on his debut. The newcomer Penelope Pitstop makes little appeal on breeding and is best watched.
