Verdict

A tough nursery can go to Manic, who just edges the vote over Tiger Dawn and King After, who both merit plenty of respect on these terms. The latter was unlucky to come across a well handicapped type here five days ago but, still went down fighting in a similar contest. He looks sure to be a leading player if in the same mood this afternoon and is a definite for the shortlist. So too is Tiger Dawn who, having only raced four times so far, is still open to a fair amount of improvement. The trip and surface should not be a problem for the William Haggas-trained gelding and he has to be considered as the biggest threat to the selection after a solid piece of form registered at Lingfield on his latest start. However, Manic holds the edge in terms of the quality of opponents he has already faced and, even though the handicapper may have to adjust his assumption that he is an 8lb better horse than Tiger Dawn, there is still enough scope held by Manic to hold off the challenge today
