Verdict

THE MANUSCRIPT came out best in a fight to the line at Warwick last time. That was only his second start over fences and there looks more to come from Jonjo O’Neill’s charge raised only 3lb. Tanrudy finished fourth behind the selection and has undergone wind surgery subsequently while Cruising Bye had been threatening until a below par effort behind third-placed Moreece at Ffos Las. Buck Bravo reverts to chasing having won over hurdles at the latter track in May while Richard Johnson partners the struggling Master Sunrise.
