Forecasts

Only In Manila (2/5), My Mate Roger (7/2), Plaid (17/2), Brave Leader (12/1), Al Khawaaneej (20/1), Always A Saint (22/1), Galileo Blue (28/1), African Gib (50/1), High Boltage (80/1), Hove Ranger (200/1), Space Alexander (200/1)

Verdict

The Crisfords' ONLY IN MANILA has gone with promise when runner-up on both his outings to date and is fancied to go one better here at the chief expense of Nottingham debut runner-up Plaid who rates a major danger with the prospect of better to come. Newcomer My Mate Roger and the still-unexposed African Gib appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
