Watch the market is our advice but without it, we stick with IT'S A MANS WORLD to take victory at the expense of Naheell and Merton Lad. Eighth in a Newmarket maiden, It's A Mans World held every chance on that occasion before fading close home. A step down in trip does not appear an issue and he is sure to be winning sooner rather than later. Naheell already looks in need of further. Nevertheless, his yard are in form. Merton Lad demonstrated improved form at Kempton and is sure to be thereabouts. Flannel is respected from the James Fanshawe yard with Robert Winston booked. Diktalina will make more appeal when tried in nurseries. Damselfly ran lamentably at Carlisle in June and has evidently taken some time to get over those labours. Zulu Moon was backed at long odds on introduction and could be anything. It's A Mans World is our call in a race where the market should tell us plenty.
