Verdict

None have raced over this far before but MANTON WARRIOR has won twice over 1m6f at Chelmsford, including his latest outing. He’s been raised 5lb but is taken to confirm earlier running with Withoutdestination and go in again. Young Merlin has also scored over 1m6f though struggled off today’s higher mark at Salisbury last time. He’s still preferred to stablemate Great Bear and the out-of-form Buriram but Trouble Shooter continues to improve having completed a double over 1m4f last month and could go well if lasting home.
