Verdict
Thahab Ifraj has won twice around here, including this contest 12 months ago. See The Sea certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Ludlow last week and escapes a penalty. This is much more competitive but she should run her race again. Roar bounces off this surface and has won on the Flat since last seen over hurdles while Manor Park has been enjoying success over timber and on the level this summer. GET BACK GET BACK (NAP) came up against a well-treated rival at Exeter last week. He travelled strongly for a long way and is overdue a win so gets the nod with Wasdell Dundalk looking in the handicapper’s grip now and Strong Glance likely to need this.
