Verdict
We end the card with another pinstickers event and we will side with Longueville Manor, Kelnik Glory and Sea Map could provide most danger. Jonjo O'Neill's five-year-old deserves to win a race of this nature having been collared close home at Worcester last time having looked all over the winner at two out. He previously put in a slolid display here when second to Hi Humphrey and he should go close today despite his big weight. Kelnik Glory het winning form at Worcetsr last time, beating Amazing Valour over the three mile trip. He was all out to land that contest and should appreciate this slight drop in distance. Sea Map doesn't have much to find with the selection on running here and is a consistent performer, he should reach the frame again. Best of the rest could be Salt Cellar, but we choose Longueville Manor as the likely winner.
