Verdict
Steelcut beat Orpenindeed over 6f here before the latter went on to win at Redcar and David Evans' charge has the beating of Kylladdie on earlier form. Jigajig has gone close over C&D on a couple of occasions but along with the rest has a bit to find on today's terms with GREEN MANALISHI. The winner of 14 races over the years is finding it hard to get his head in front nowadays, which probably explains his drop into claiming company, but he can still boast the best recent form in this field and Kevin Ryan's veteran looks the one to beat.
