MAN OF LA MANCHA (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1600m at Windsor. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. ZARATHOS (2) was a real eye-catcher last start, coming from the tail over 1600m at Doncaster to finish a neck from the winner in third. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with four placings from six starts. Among the leading chances. HERCULEUS (5) finished second last time over 1630m at Windsor when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Nicely placed to take this out. WAR HOWL (3) finished third last time over 1400m at Newcastle All Weather when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
