Key races and best bets
MANHATTAN CHUTE - 3.48 Naas
This looks a really interesting early season 3-y-o handicap with the narrow vote in favour of MANHATTAN CHUTE. He had a few of these behind when a very good third in a competitive nursery over 6f here on his final outing in October and could well provide a spot of value for a yard amongst the winners. Ballydoyle representative Serengeti boasts a progressive profile and needs considering on handicap bow, as does Kodilicious. Gloriously Glam and Wizard of Odds also make each-way appeal.
RED HAPPY - 3.20 Carlisle
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of hat-trick seeking RED HAPPY who showed a really good attitude when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago. Busty Boy is feared most on the back of a resurgent Ayr second, although Emotional Roller, Catch Catchfire and One More Stroke also need factoring in.
YES DAY - 4.13 Exeter
This looks competitive but YES DAY won in the style of an improving novice at Hereford 2 weeks ago so gets the nod. Art Decco and Neo King are closely matched having finished 1-2 over C&D last month and they head the dangers.
SAINTE DONA - 4.38 Limerick
SAINTE DONA was an excellent second under this rider at Punchestown last month and can go one better off the same mark back down in class. Emily In Paris and Made In The Woods both shaped as if their turn isn't far away last time so are feared most.
