Forecasts

Verdict

ONLY IN MANILA's latest Kempton third has to go down as a shade disappointing, yet his previous form gives him standout claims in this line-up and he's worth another chance with first-time cheekpieces applied. Spirit of Athene is next best ahead of newcomer Al Bowlly and Chelio.

  1. ONLY IN MANILA
  2. SPIRIT OF ATHENE
  3. AL BOWLLY
