Bob Backus may improve for a switch to handicaps but Manor Park, a winner at Market Rasen in November, needs forgiving a shocking effort at Taunton earlier this month. Sienna Royale was second at Exeter last season when 5lb higher and she hasn’t been disgraced in a couple of runs this term but MAC AMARA will probably win a modest heat if she reproduces her second to Darksideoftarnside at Chepstow in November.
