Verdict
Both Everlasting Light and Grandad Mac finished tailed off on their latest efforts on the Fibresand. MY MANEKINEKO's earlier course form doesn't inspire much confidence either, but he's been in much better form since being stepped up in trip. John Jenkin's charge gets a tentative vote. Kyllachykov landed a double on the Polytrack last January but hasn't raced since May while Think made the frame in heavy ground at Catterick when last seen on the Flat and may well take to this surface.
