The consistent Manaar can take home the prize money here, although Salviati and Atavus will make it a tough fight. Jeremy Noseda's colt ran a blinder to get within half a length of classy The Trader at Leicester last week and there is nothing of that calibre in today's contest. Salviati landed a couple of decent handicaps back in July, and after struggling against better opposition on his last two starts he will relish taking on these rivals. Atavus gives weight away all round, but has the class to make his presence felt. But Manaar gets the vote with Atavus, Salviati and the ultra consistent Its Ecco Boy all fighting for place money.
