Manjaam's stable can do little wrong at present but he steps up in trip in search of a hat-trick and also reverts to the Turf. Gunnery landed a maiden at Haydock last month and is interesting on his handicap debut and, likewise, Chelmsford scorer Against The Odds. Zeehan was due to run yesterday at Salisbury and is a bit more exposed than some of these. Primitivo and Carry Me Home have also had a few runs as has Ride The Lightning, though Brian Meehan's charge missed the break on his reappearance at Newmarket and should find this easier. SNAN got off the mark at Chepstow two weeks ago and that should have boosted his confidence. He doesn't look badly treated in his first handicap so should go well.
