Verdict
This won’t take much winning and Fairyhouse runner-up Manhattan Dandy can be forgiven his run over 7f here last time as he was poorly drawn and trapped wide throughout. Jered Maddox has been more consistent lately and has twice finished second around here while there are possibilities about Sabrina Fairchild if she has ready after a break. Woodrow is the least exposed but PILLAR looks in decent nick having followed up a victory over track and trip with a third over 5f off this mark when he was doing his best work at the finish.
