Verdict
MEGALO MANIAC can land this on his Kempton debut while Rosie Cross and Moverra can also show up well in what is a poor contest. The Richard Fahey-trained selection was good enough to win off a mark of 62 a year ago and has now slipped down to just 50. He went well in defeat at Catterick last time and in context he is in good heart, so as one who enjoys the polytrack we'll side with him. Rosie Cross is not in bad nick and represents a yard that has produced a few winners this year, so she is not ruled out though this might just stretch her reserves of stamina too far. Moverra is certainly capable enough from this current mark and over this trip. He is visored for the first time but he is not red hot at present so we will oppose. Empire Dancer is another to have won off a fair bit higher and acts on the surface, so he can get involved while Razzano has trip and surface to suit and even with only selling form on the board lately she might still be there come the shake-up.
