A rejuvenated It's A Mans World would have to be considered if turning up but was engaged to run here yesterday and the vote goes to THIS ONES FOR EDDY. He has winning form here and has slipped down the handicap to a tempting mark. He is preferred to Toby Tyler who has also won here but needs to step up on his recent efforts to trouble the selection. Hambleton is capable of better and Clever Omneya could go well at a big price.
