WAYNE MANOR went close when stepped up to today's trip on the Polytrack at Lingfield last month. This looks slightly easier and he can go one better. Vexillum has proved more effective over 1m6f so far and was placed over that distance at Redcar last week but Phantom Ranch looks to have leading claims on his recent victory at Nottingham. He can go close on his all-weather debut but the remainder are harder to fancy unless Cape Alex improves for the greater test of stamina.
