Verdict

Few stand out in this. Roar Emotion is the only recent winner in the line-up, scoring at Kempton last month. Manuelito has hinted at ability and is the pick of his yard’s two runners while Lucky Fifteen has a bit of scope. A similar comment applies to Roman Art, who is making his debut on Turf, but PHENOMENON probably has the best overall form and can finally get his head in front.
