Mankind was hampered when favourite at Newcastle last week but wouldn’t have threatened the places in any case and has become disappointing. Contingency Fee was bought out of Brian Meehan's yard after landing a Brighton seller and Hackbridge and Pact Of Steel will need to improve again to follow up respective victories at Lingfield. Topology is now 0-22 so this looks a good opportunity for REVELEON. He showed nothing in four runs on Polytrack for Sir Michael Stoute but has improved on Turf for the switch to Mick Appleby and will likely see out this trip better than most. Thistimelastyear has been placed twice on this surface and could be interesting having a first run for Rae Guest.
