        Verdict

        MANIGORDO (NAP) initiated a course and distance double when getting the better of Abduction last August. He’s been steadily coming to hand this season and holds Gioia Cieca and Liamarty Dreams on the form book and the latter finished ahead of Billyb when fourth at Thirsk latest. Ann Duffield’s gelding and No Nay Nicki finished 1-2 at Doncaster last summer but Richard Fahey’s filly is much better off at the weights today.
