MANGER HANAGMENT had no problems completing a four-timer at Perth last week. Gordon Elliott's versatile six-year-old always races up with the pace so won't be inconvenienced with this drop in distance and should have too much for Shifting Gold, though Kevin Ryan's charge had been in decent form on the Flat before landing a similar contest over a slightly shorter trip here three weeks ago. Elsafeer outstayed some moderate rivals at Uttoxeter in July but the runner-up has been well beaten since and he'll struggle to dominate in the same manner here, though should still make the frame.
