Verdict
My Name Is Rio is getting closer though would prefer some cut in the ground and the same can be said of Manshood. But Jack The Truth was beaten only a length at Newmarket before going close on the all-weather at Lingfield and a bold bid is expected from him. LUCKY BEGGAR (NAP) has been keeping better company than this since narrowly beaten in today’s grade at Doncaster on his reappearance. Now back on a winning mark, David Griffiths’ charge gets the nod to come out best. Landing Night may prove best of the rest given Rasheeq has yet to win on Turf in 20 attempts.
