MANGER HANAGMENT gets the vote in a tricky opener on account of the fact that he's won his last three starts very easily, though two of those were over fences. He may also enjoy a fitness advantage over the four-year-old What A Warrior, who hasn't raced since making a winning start over timber over 2m5f here in April. Bertie Milan and Bob's Ticket have a little to find on what they've shown so far but Rangefinder ran reasonably well in a handicap at Sedgefield earlier this month and Court In Session won four times between the flags and came up against a decent prospect on his debut under Rules in a bumper at Uttoxeter.
