In depth

Verdict

A tight betting contest on paper with little seperating the field according to BHB figures but TEAMtalk preference is for Manoubi. Sir Michael Stoute's charge has been off the track for two months but has already shown useful form and is the least exposed so may be capable of further progress. The son of Doyoun will have no difficulty on the forecast good to firm going having landed a maiden here in July on similar ground and also finished a close runner-up in a Haydock handicap off a mark of 77 on his sole subsequent start. A repeat of the latter form should suffice in this company. Castleshane was far from disgraced under a big weight at Sandown on Saturday and has to be respected while both Cool Spice and Classic Example have the form to go close and are others to consider in an open heat.
