MANAMITE made mistakes and Alain Cawley was quick to accept defeat at Newcastle last time in a race in which the trail-blazing Beyondtemptation faded in to third. That wasn’t his true form and the better ground here might help. Endless Credit is also a course and distance winner but he appears to be going backwards while Zig Zag has also gone off the boil. Steel Wave is on a log losing run while Fisher Green’s two victories so far have come at Musselburgh.
