All eyes will be on MANYRIVERSTOCROSS who has been found a suitable opportunity to make a winning debut over hurdles. Abey M'Boy and Lady De La Vega are chief amongst the opposition. There may be one or two hanging fire as he's likely to be short enough given his profile so it may not be wise to follow him over a cliff but Manyriverstocross is an exciting recruit to hurdling as he embarks on another cycle of his career and the smart Flat handicapper is sure to have been well schooled. Lady De La Vega showed promise on her penultimate start but failed to build on that last time; she remains of interest but may fare better once handicapping. Lady Jinks ran a fine race over course and distance on debut but the time was slow and it remains to be seen what the form is worth. Abey M'Boy showed up well on his first two starts and is one to be interested in whilst Shali San and Shalamiyr couldn't be dismissed with confidence but the power and the glory can go to Manyriverstocross.
