      Verdict

      MANNING ESTATE was value for more than his winning margin at Doncaster and starts off in handicaps at a realistic level. - he should no problem with this longer trip on the prevailing going. This distance looks on the short side for Plumpton winner Steel Bob while Warwick scorer Espoir De Loire may have preferred softer ground. Sammylou looks the pick of the remainder as Victarion continues to disappoint.
