Verdict

Pokari is having a first run since scoring over course and distance last August when 6lb lower. FORCE TEN makes more appeal as he makes his handicap debut having been much too keen when returning from a break at Worcester. Ranco also goes on the shortlist as the three-times Flat winner wasn’t beaten far off this mark last time. Peat Moss won on the all-weather in April and was successful over timber last year but Manor Park appeared to lose the plot at the end of last season. Youvebrokenmydream has placed the last twice but is now 0-13.
