      Verdict

      Wares Home has shown plenty of ability in both starts to date and looks the one to beat ahead of Manipulator and Hearthstead Home. Karl Burke's charge showed signs of inexperience when well fancied on his debut here last month but still ran on strongly to finish runner-up behind a useful yardstick. The son of Indian Rocket then confirmed the promise when a close third from a bad draw in similar company at Pontefract, again putting in his best work at the finish over the stiff five furlongs. The step up to six furlongs should suit ideally and he sets the standard for some less exposed rivals. Mark Johnston has his team in excellent form at present and Hearthstead Home should improve significantly from his debut effort at Doncaster after running very green in a decent maiden over this trip. Manipulator was the subject of strong support on his debut over course and distance earlier in the month but faded in the closing stages having shown bright speed until halfway. However, it would be surprising if Sir Mark Prescott's charge cannot leave the form behind in due course and has to be respected at this level.
