      Verdict

      FANCY MAN has the proven form at this level having won a Listed race at Haydock last term. He drops back down in trip after placing in the Chester Vase and the rest of these have the Hannon colt to beat. Tasman Bay finished third in a conditions race at Newbury and has the edge at the weights over both Sea The Shells and Flyin' High while John Leeper won a novices race over today’s trip at Newcastle and is preferred to Via Sistina.
