In depth
Verdict
MANAAFITH (NAP) struggled dropped down to a shorter trip in Listed company last time but won a higher grade handicap than this at Kempton before that and Roger Varian’s stable remains in fine form. Shining Al Danah also proved unsuited to the drop down to 6f here on her handicap debut and better is expected today but Jilly Cooper and Amanda Hug'n'kiss are upped in class. Farhh To Shy is at home at this level though arrives out of sorts.
