MITCHEL HENRY can land this handicap chase with Its A Classic and Manoubi rating as the main dangers. The selection won well here last time out, he will handle the conditions and he should be suited the step-up in trip. He looks progressive and he can make it back-to-back successes. Its A Classic finished behind our selection last time when he tired close home, so it is doubtful that he will be see out this trip as well as Mitchel Henry. Manoubi was doing his best work at the finish when he chased home Teenando here last time out. He is another who will be suited by this extra distance and he also looks to be on a very fair mark. Carryduff has trip and ground to suit but he has been a little frustrating of late and it will take a leap of faith to put him forward as the pick. A much safer bet appears to be Mitchel Henry who looks to be on an upward curve.
