Only denied a hat-trick by an improved handicap debutant here last time, progressive LUCKY MANIFEST should be suited by this step up to 3m and is fancied to resume winning ways. Tranquil Sea wears cheekpieces for this first time since joining the Skelton team and should find this a more suitable test than Market Rasen, while last year's winner Long Draw merits respect in his bid to make it 3-3 over this C&D.
