Verdict
A runner-up at Roscommon on his debut, Manitobian was eased down when his chance had gone at Leopardstown last week and gets first-time headgear for this. SPIRITUAL MAN also finished second at Roscommon on his introduction in August and David Wachman's charge gets the nod as he finished ahead of a subsequent winner. Love Rosie and Multiculture need to improve and Royal Ascot Trip has shown little so far but Gallope caught the eye staying on well for fourth at Fairyhouse on her debut and could figure.
