        Verdict

        Mandinka slaughtered his rivals last time out and can beat Touch Of Ebony and Dubai Dreams. The selection has taken a hike up the weights but won with such authority has to be followed again. The gelding displayed a terrific turn of foot to leave his rivals for dead and in the end came home eight lengths clear of Jungle Lion. Today's opposition are no better and a follow up looks a distinct possibility. Touch Of Ebony returns after a spell over the jumps and has shown enough on the turf to suggest he can take a hand in the finish. Dubai Dreams won well over a mile here last time and will find this trip testing his stamina, however he does look the best of the remainder. So once again a very modest event and Mandinka is a confident choice
