In depth
Verdict
Mangano must have claims at a track that he likes, however it is Papa's Princess who is fancied to oblige. Jim Goldie's filly is dropped into selling company today on the back of a decent enough effort at Beverley and having had just four runs so far, improvement can still be expected. She acts on any ground and is fancied to score. Mangano finished behind her last time but he has claims of reversing the placings if back on song, although it must be said that he looks a short runner over this trip. Blue Madeira has the cheek-pieces on again but they didn't seem to have a huge impact last time, so of more interest may be Prince Noel. A beaten favourite last time out, he still ran fairly well although the fact that he is winless in 14 is a worry. Soul Angel is quickly dropped in grade and should be monitored in the betting, along with Heaven's Gates, another who is dropped in grade. At a price don't rule out Falimar, however it is Papa's Princess who gets the narrow vote.
