Verdict

Mandy's Hero has made all to win his last two starts over 5f and had Johnny Hancocks back in third when scoring over C&D last time. A line through the runner-up also gives him the beating of today's rivals Je Suis Unrockstar and Lady Prodee and Ian Williams' charge will be hard to beat. However, BARNET FAIR may be up to the task. He was headed close home when runner-up over 6f here a fortnight ago but, dropped in class today, he is fancied to go one better. Palais Glide won her maiden at Lingfield last month and there should be more to come from her.
