Manly Money gets the nomination here with Kingston Town and Running Hot put forward as the likely dangers. The selection was unlucky to come up against as smart a rival as See You Sometime last time out at Fontwell on what was his chasing bow. He is sure to have learned from that experience and as that was his first run after a lengthy break he is also sure to come on for it. With these factors in mind, he is clearly the one they all have to beat with the presence of Ruby Walsh in the plate another big plus. Kingston Town looked to have every chance before making a bad mistake at Haydock last time in a race won by Roman Ark. He is versatile as he goes on any ground and he has an obvious chance. Running Hot, a winning pointer, ran well last time when third in a decent race at Exeter and he remain unexposed. However, he ran as though he needed further that day and on that basis he is passed over. The rest will have to improve to trouble the leading players and we will will stick with Manly Money as our idea of the winner.
