      Verdict

      Another wide open handicap to solve here but Manchurian gets the nod where Kyle, Diriculous and Cheap Street could be the ones to pose the selection most problems. Manchurian hails from the yard of Mark Wallace, a stable that does particularly well with this sort of animal. Campaigned over a range of distances in the earlier stages of his career, a strongly run six furlongs appears his ideal circumstances on the evidence of his most recent performance where he stayed on well in the closing stages. Drawn 9, Jamie Spencer is afforded the luxury of deciding which route he prefers to take. The drop back to six furlongs will undoubtedly suit Kyle as he travelled strongly over seven on his most recent appearances before weakening in the later stages. Diriculous has shown improvement throughout the winter months on the all-weather but this posses a much stiffer test while Cheap Street made a satisfactory seasonal debut over the course two weeks ago. Impromtu is another worthy of consideration been a course and distance winner. Manchurian stands out here and is the selection.
