MANIGORDO (3.35) can score a third course and distance win in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap over seven furlongs at Musselburgh.
The six-year-old hit a purple patch during the summer last season, when winning twice over the Edinburgh turf during a 12-day period in August.
Tim Easterby’s gelding took a while to get back up to speed this term, but bounced back to form 24 days ago at Beverley over an extra half furlong, where he ran on well to win by half a length from On The River.
He’s up 3lb for that victory, but there’s every reason to think he’ll be in the mix in a competitive event.
Nicky Henderson has two runners at Worcester, and the first of these, GO CHIQUE (4.23) is expected to give a good account in the Lowes Garage Home Of Mot's £30 Handicap Hurdle over two miles and seven fuRlongs.

The seven-year-old mare has been lightly raced over the couple of seasons, winning twice last term, at Hereford in March and at Bangor over the same trip by two and a quarter lengths in September, after a 165-day break.
She had just one run since then when a length second behind Caius Marcius at Doncaster in November over an extended three miles, but she has proved she can run really well when fresh for her top yard, who won this race two seasons ago.
