Managua may go off as favourite for this one considering he was once thought good enough to contend in a Group 2 as a juvenile but there may be more value in NORTHERN ACRES who won when last seen over this sort of trip. Although disappointing at York since that victory he makes most appeal dropped back to 1m2f. Seek The Cash is a half-brother to three winners in the US but has failed to impress so far. Motirani is readily dismissed after very poor efforts to date, whilst Fasette will need to find improvement from blinkers but could play a part having won at the course before.
