My Manekineko has had 17 starts on the all-weather and never won though he's a decent hurdler nowadays so will be suited by the trip. DANEQUEST (NAP) completed a double over the trip here and at Clonmel before finding 1m4f too short last week when runner-up to Brokopondo. He's on the same mark here and can get back to winning ways. Magnetic Force was beaten a head over the course and distance in October and is 1lb lower so he's on the shortlist but Little Stampy's three all-weather victories have been on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Ibsen was in very good form over hurdles last summer but makes his debut on an artificial surface while Santo Prince is held by the selection on recent Clonmel running.
