The tough and consistent MANACCAN was well on top at the finish when landing a listed contest at Ascot last time. He could be the answer to what looks a very competitive contest, provided he takes to this surface. Harry's Bar finished hot on the heels of The Highway Rat and Logo Hunter over this C&D 3 weeks ago and, with a stronger gallop likely this time, he is taken to reverse placings with those rivals and emerge as the main danger. Erosandpsyche also enters calculations.
