Seraph, Soviet Joy and City of Manchester look the three to concentrate on in this poor seller and the vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair third in similar grade behind Siminovski and as he is fairly unexposed over hurdles he looks the value bet in an open affair. Seraph rates the main danger on his best form he is dropping in grade here and with has yard in good form he should be closely monitored in the market. Soviet Joy would have a chance on his latest second over hurdles but he has since ran abysmally on the flat so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Another Misk and The boobi have shown glimmers of ability and could go well at prices but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to City Of Manchester.
