    Verdict

    EMITOM ran green at Warwick but still came home in front and Warren Greatrex’ charge may be capable of completing a double with Harry Teal’s allowance negating his penalty. Manning Estate represents last year’s winning stable and he made a promising start at Fontwell in May behind a subsequent winner. Fubar was also second on his debut while Paul Nicholls’ last two bumper runners have won and Zyon is surely better than he showed at Wincanton in the spring. Mere Ironmonger has ability but will surely need this.
