This looks a really interesting early season 3-y-o handicap with the narrow vote in favour of MANHATTAN CHUTE. He had a few of these behind when a very good third in a competitive nursery over 6f here on his final outing in October and could well provide a spot of value for a yard amongst the winners. Ballydoyle representative Serengeti boasts a progressive profile and needs considering on handicap bow, as does Kodilicious. Gloriously Glam and Wizard of Odds also make each-way appeal.
