MANAAL’s only defeat so far came in Listed company. She’s not certain to stay this far on breeding but wasn’t stopping over 1m2f at Beverley last time suggesting she will last home on the easier track. Eesha My Flower is having a first run on Turf but any rain would suit Birch Grove and she makes more appeal than stable companion Miss Latin. Miss Mumtaz has won over hurdles since last seen on the Flat but may be vulnerable off top weight.
