Formscan By Michael Graham - THE VERY MAN sets a high standard with a mark of 100. He earned that rating with a decisive victory in a valuable handicap over an extended 1m7f at Ascot. That followed on from a close second in the Qualified Riders' feature on day one of the Galway Festival. Watch The Weather landed a handicap hurdle on decent ground at Tipperary last month before finishing fourth in another handicap hurdle at Galway. He is likely to be staying on better than most. Galway Hurdle ninth Amir Kabir is another to consider.
