Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 85

Well-bred sort who was placed both starts at 2yrs for Alice Haynes and took a step forward following 6 months off/having switched yards when second of 7 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, soft, 4/1) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Should prove tough to beat.

Form: 32-2

Master Toney^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W S Kittow

Due Diligence gelding. Showed more than on debut back from 4 months off when sixth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (7f) 17 days ago. Still, he'll need to pull good deal more if he's to come out on top here.

Form: 0-6

Perianth²⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly

Calyx filly from an excellent family who didn't go without promise when midfield in pair of 6f turf maidens last summer. Promises to do better again as a 3-y-o and she looks the chief threat to Manhattan Mirage.

Form: 63-

Forecasts

Manhattan Mirage (1/7), Perianth (6/1), Master Toney (20/1)

MANHATTAN MIRAGE comfortably sets the standard and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark with conditions holding no fears. The well-bred Perianth is one to keep an eye on.
