Verdict

Olympic Honour won over hurdles back in December and hasn’t raced since but Vampish went close at Beverley recently. Manzil also placed in soft ground at the latter track last week while Brodie Hampson was on board Menin Gate when the latter won at Kempton earlier. But MAC AILEY was beaten only a neck at Doncaster last time and is taken to go one better with the ground in his favour. Stablemate Dance King was well beaten in soft a fortnight ago while N Over J is partnered by a leading amateur back on the Turf.
