A genuine pace is expected with Thinkingnintynine, Figo The Great and Savatoff rolling along early. It will take a brave punter to step into THE MANSMAN (2) with confidence, given his overall winning strike rate, but he looks to have found a suitable race to break through again. He's been runner-up in his last two starts behind a couple of smart middle-distance horses and he's been kept fit with a trial between runs. He maps to get a lovely run and can win. LOMAX (3) is a definite threat, although it's been a year since he won a race and he's another that needs the stars to align. He will get back but can be finishing hard. SAVATOFF (5) keeps fronting up and is a place chance, as is FLYING ASSASSIN (6), who mixes his form but is handy enough in this grade. ZAIN PRINCE (8) might be the other one to include at a bigger price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing The Mansman to win.
