Verdict
MANOR PARK's victory by 13 lengths over the track and trip ten days ago could have been double but for easing down and though 14lb higher can get the job done again. Ayr Of Elegance has won twice over timber, both over 2m4f, so she may find this on the short side but Blazing Saddles gained his only success over the trip at Stratford in March and has continued to run well. The maiden Translink appears to have gone backwards though takes a slight drop in class.
