Verdict
Manodee a Good winner at Huntingdon when beating Sir Williamwallace, before disappointing last time out at Exeter over a shorter trip is taken to get back on the winning trail. The gelding from the Venetia Williams yard will appreciate this more galloping track and with the stable returning to form he will be hard to beat. Coolteen Hero rates the main danger he was a good second behind Red Hare at Taunton last time out and if his jumping holds together he will not be far away off what looks a fair mark and this slightly softer ground should suit him better. Mothers Help also has to be considered he was a good winner at Market Rasen under similar conditions but he was raised six pounds in the handicap for that victory and although he has ran well in defeat he looks to high in the weights to win. Popsi's Cloggs is another with a chance he will love the ground and runs best when he is fresh and on his best form he is still well weighted. Kingley Vale would be one to consider if the mud is flying as he stays forever and on his last run last season when he was a good second behind Mystere he will not be far away as long as he is fit enough to do himself justice after his absence. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to score.
