Course winner but he's yet to fire this season. Edging down the weights and didn't have a hard time at Haydock last time, so not completely dismissed.

Has been shaping up well lately, better than the result form a poor position when third at Musselburgh last time. Drop in trip and wide draw both against him here, though.

Largely ran well in 2022 without getting his head in front. Creditable fifth on Newmarket reappearance but not in same form since. Has the plum draw but questions to answer.

Right back to form when landing a Chester handicap despite a slow start 8 days ago. Not long with this yard, so potential for better still, and warrants plenty of respect.

Winless since 2-y-o days but good efforts on both outings this term, second at Goodwood last time. Had every chance there and a wide draw will make life tough.

Fairly useful 6f winner but his run of good form came to an end when twelfth of 14 in handicap at York and failed to feature at Haydock last time. Needs to bounce back.

C&D winner who arrives on the back of a solid showing when fourth at York last time. Should give another good account if he can secure a reasonable position from stall 10.

Produced a career best with the run of things in his favour at Musselburgh in April and went down only narrowly in his follow up bid at Hamilton a fortnight later. Below-par on both subsequent outings, albeit not seen to best effect at Epsom on latest.

Already a three-time winner this year, latest at Chelmsford City in April. Posted another good effort when second at Beverley last time but stall 12 is problematic.

Yet to get his head in front this season and found run of good form coming to a halt at York 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and has a handy draw, so this C&D winner merits respect.

Good second of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Beverley (5f, soft) 5 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Return to this trip is in his favour and makes most appeal from a handy draw.

Made a fine start for current yard, scoring at Ayr and Hamilton in May. Not clear run at Beverley last time but has a tough draw to contend with.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Back in form and shaped best when coming from too far back to finish second over C&D. One to note on the back of that but will need everything to drop right from stall 11.

Forecasts

Manila Scouse (5/2), Ghathanfar (6/1), Admiral D (13/2), Abduction (9/1), Faro De San Juan (10/1), Rathbone (12/1), Music Society (12/1), Milbanke (12/1), Orbital Chime (14/1), Mojomaker (18/1), Shalaa Asker (20/1), Fools Rush In (20/1), Jordan Electrics (20/1), The Thin Blue Line (20/1), Just Frank (25/1), Save The World (50/1)

Verdict

MANILA SCOUSE shaped like he's ready to win when second at Beverley last time and, with the return to this trip and low draw both in his favour, he takes preference over Faro de San Juan, who scored at Chester last time. Milbanke is likely to play a part if they go hard in front.
