Choice of Many trials again at Rosehill tomorrow. He has drawn a really tough trial as there are a couple of particularly nice horses in it; Manhattan Rain is a half-brother to champion sire Redoute’s Choice, and is a son of champion sire Encosta De Lago; and Real Saga is already a Listed Race winner.
