In depth
Verdict
Richard Johnson rode Don Padeja into second place at Stratford last time but gets off him to partner MANHATTAN SWING (NAP) in this. Brian Ellison's charge ran a cracker in a Listed handicap over course and distance four weeks ago and is only a pound higher - he should again beat sixth Regulation. Ruler Of All has been climbing the weights without winning and Australia Day is in the veteran stage now but Gurkha Brave would have a chance on the form he showed at Kelso and Hexham earlier this summer.
