FormscanBy Gary Carson - MAN IS KING has been knocking on the door here and wouldn't be winning out of turn. The Dandy Man gelding has been placed on his last three visits and lost out by just a head to Cousin Shay 16 days ago. He has been creeping up the handicap but is entitled to be bang there again. The selection went up 3lb for that effort while the winner Cousin Shay got 7lb so he may be able to turn the tables now. Lorr's Girl, who was a length-and-a-half behind the pair then, is another who has to come into the mix having been left on the same mark.
