Any number to consider but lightly-raced 3-y-o THE MAN was expertly prepared to land a 5f handicap here on return in May and kept fresh for this, his revised mark looks well within range. Air Force One is a year older but boasts a similar profile to the selection, so he's on the shortlist, while Trefor is a massive player if proving as effective at the minimum trip.
