      Verdict

      Fitzroy Crossing is selected to take care of Manchurian and Bobski. Granted. Mark Johnston's inmate hasn't exactly set the world alight this season but he has come down the weights a little and with the Scot sending out winners of late, it would be no surprise to see a return to form today under first time blinkers. Bobski finished close up at Newmarket on his latest racecourse visit. He had no excuses and has been clobbered by a 5lb rise for his troubles. Manchurian is likely to be held up in the early stages. He was given far too much to do at Leicester last time out. Rockfield Lodge acts on fast ground put is looking a tad exposed at present. Hits Only Cash is on a losing run. Registrar has to be respected as a course-and-distance winner. Daring Dream might need conditions a little softer to put in his best work. Fitzroy Crossing will be a decent price and we prefer him at the likely odds.
