In depth
Verdict
The hat-trick seeking The Manse Brae will be a popular choice here, especially with the return to this sort of a trip expected to be an advantage. Vilpano has been off the track since January but would have claims if fit enough after the lay-off, as would Cruz Santa who has dropped to a favourable mark. Both would be well suited by any further rain. Harry Hooly goes well for his inexperienced rider and should not be discounted.
