Verdict
This won't take much winning but the unexposed Mankini may just need this while Emman Bee has been raised the obligatory 6lb for winning at Newbury. On My Own is interesting after a much-improved fourth at Lingfield but Grand Liaison didn't sparkle on his comeback at Sandown, though will have found the mile too short. CURLY COME HOME has her favoured ground and hasn't fared badly in her two starts this year. Her yard is in good form and she can recapture the winning thread here.
