Verdict

Shabeeb and Mancini filled the places over course and distance last time and are hard to separate in this though the latter gets a change of headgear. SEINESATIONAL wasn’t at his best over 2m recently but had landed a double over 1m6f before that when beating Calculation and Jersey Wonder at Sandown and subsequent winner Singing The Blues at Goodwood. Bill Knight’s charge gets another chance back over today’s trip while Berrahri won over 1m4f at Newmarket last month with Buriram and Edinburgh Castle others to note.
