(6)

Manzo Duro^p1⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Selma Grage⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 72

12/1

Fairly useful gelding. Bit below form third of 6 in maiden (4/1) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 71 days ago. Cheekpieces enlisted on debut for new yard and should have a big part to play.

Form: 47-2963

Forecasts

Embolden (4/9), Straight Ash (9/2), Manzo Duro (12/1), Mount Ararat (14/1), House Deposit (16/1), Dawry (28/1)

MANZO DURO has failed to build on his Doncaster reappearance near miss in 3 subsequent starts, but he makes plenty of appeal down in grade here on debut for new yard. He sports first-time cheekpieces, as does fellow 3-y-o and main danger Embolden, who posted his best effort since winning a minor event here last year when second in a Leicester claimer last week. Mount Ararat is best of the rest.
