Verdict
Manofmanywords disappointed at Chepstow last month and Morgenstern is another with a bit to prove now with Tom Scudamore preferring Crossing Lines to the latter. JUSTIFIED was a stayer on the Flat and clearly found 2m too sharp last time at Fakenham. He has been given an opening mark of 102, which could be lenient. Sabrina took a backward step here last time but Smoking Pigeon has solid claims on his latest second at Huntingdon with winner Alberic running earlier in the day. Henschke is usually thereabouts but possibly a few pounds too high with Barford Diva having more scope.
