Fat Boy seemingly lost his way for Peter Chapple-Hyam and looks best watched on his debut for Amy Weaver, despite being well treated at the weights. Kevin Ryan's Green Manalishi has been rather harshly treated by the handicapper so it is no surprise to see the gelding dropped into this company but he has plenty of weight to carry as does Abraham Lincoln, who has not been in the best of form of late. Hugh Morrison's Six Diamond's has a nice racing weight and could not be better drawn as he has the number one stall but preference is for EXCELLING. Peter Makin's filly has been running more consistently well than most of her opponents, handles the Polytrack, and she looks worth siding with under 8st 4lb.
