If SCRIPTURLENT proves as effective on softer ground tonight then he's probably the one to catch. His jumping was much better at Stratford last time, and it may have been that, rather than anything else, that proved the key factor. If he jumps as well here he's got definite chances of following up. Caniwillyegiveme and Manuka look the two most likely to give him problems. Both are going the right way and should have more to offer.
