Race preview
MANTOOG justified strong support in the market when gaining a breakthrough success on her handicap bow at Salisbury last month and won with enough in hand to suggest that she can defy a 7lb rise. Botanical has done little wrong in three appearances and Roger Varian's gelding is an obvious threat on his handicap bow. Last-time-out novice winner Elegancia could also have more to offer and completes the shortlist.
