PLATFORM NINETEEN has completed a hat-trick at Beverley and Nottingham on a variety of ground conditions. He now steps up in grade against better handicappers but looks an out-and-out stayer who continues to progress with his racing and doesn't look too badly treated. Funny Man is another improving three-year-old who should get involved in a first-time visor but Maid In Manhattan came unstuck on soft ground at Haydock on Friday. Contrebasse is going the right way and the return to 2m will assist his chance.
