Rated 78, Rideson sets the standard but has now returned a losing favourite in all four outings after coming up short again over a longer trip at Wolverhampton. MANAABIT is preferred as she showed major improvement at Kempton last time and the Haggas yard has an impressive strike at this venue. Betushka and Zere are likely to finish closer today and Red Dragoness has placed in a bumper over 1m4f while the newcomer Defence Girl is a full-sister to maiden winner Aegeus, who co-incidentally runs earlier on the card.
