Mysaynoway deserves some credit as she did not buckle when headed after forcing the pace and nearly doing enough to nick the race.
Supreme Team has been tried over a variety of trips and is one paced.
Wild Ground, a winner over fences here last time, was better off handicap-wise on her return to hurdles but was never going for some reason.
How the handicapper expects Mancebo to win a race off a 20lb higher mark after the weekend is anybody's guess as he was tailed off here off his old rating of 85.
