          Verdict

          There is an excellent and competitive line-up for this valuable sprint handicap and many of the runners will have their supporters but the narrow vote goes to Green Manalishi. Looking at the field. Bonus won a Group 3 race at The Curragh last season but has yet to sparkle this time around. Smokin Beau is now rated ten pounds lower than for his most-recent win, which came in 2002, but he still has enough about him to go well here, and he is well drawn. The lightly raced Pivotal Point ran well in a valuable Ascot handicap last season and should 've sharper for his seasonal return. However, along recent narrow York runner-up Marsad and the in-form Willhewiz, he could have fared better with the draw. Million Per Cent is closely weighted with Willhewiz based on their recent Newmarket efforts and Caustic Wit comes here in great heart, having won five of his last six races, including the last four. However, he has an 11lb rise to overcome for the latest of his successes, which will make things tough. Green Manalishi is also in good heart and is just two pounds higher in the ratings than for his Newmarket win on June 19 so he too comes into the shake-up, as could be Arctic Desert if the first-time visor has the desired effect. The sprint king, David Nicholls, runs Watching, whose mark seems fair enough although the step up to today's trip could help, while Danzig River should have improvement to come but the jury is out on him now after a couple of down-the-field runs. Finally, Further Outlook ran well at Salisbury on Thursday but is unlikely to spring any big surprises at his age. As we say, it's very competitive but we will side with Green Manalishi.
