Verdict
Manoubi gets the confident vote to make it three in a row with Fairy Skin Maker and Caesar's Palace rating the main dangers. The selection has improved out of all recognition since been operated on for a wind problem and although he is rising in the weights he won with plenty in hand when defeating Waziya and he still looks to be ahead of the handicapper and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Caesar's Palace rates the main danger on his best form as he looks to be on a handy mark but he was disappointing last time for no apparent reason so can not be backed with any confidence. Fairy Skin Maker is another that could go well he won well last time out when beating L'Orange Lady but this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Alam is another worthy of respect as he is from a shrewd yard and has one of the top jockeys booked for this type of event so he should be noted in the market. Needwood Spirit is a course and distance winner that is also on a fair mark but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Manoubi.
