Manhasset Indian, a Johannesburg half-brother to a couple of winners trained by Jeremy Noseda, may be of interest first time out but, along with Benchmark, has been done no favours with the draw and preference is for Woqoodd. The selection lacks a previous run but the Michael Jarvis-trained colt is bred to be useful and, with the benefit of a draw in stall 12, he may be worth chancing at the likely odds. Dean Ivory's Bertoliver has shown promise in his two starts but needs to improve, while Dance of Dreams is likely to need the run first time out as trainer Nick Littmoden very rarely has a two-year-old ready for his first start. Brian Meehan's Dan Tucker is entitled to step up on his debut run but needs to and of more interest may be the more experienced Benchmark. Woqoodd is an interesting newcomer though and he gets the vote.
