MODERN MAN shaped with plenty of encouragement on his hurdling debut when third in a strong-looking maiden over C&D last month and, with improvement forthcoming, he has to be considered the one to beat. Brisky Dancer and Grand Vendetta are a pair of likely types of paper however, and strong market support for either would put a slightly different slant on matters.
