Salvino arrives in good form and drops back down in trip with a shout but Okavango Delta won a lower grade contest at Doncaster last time and will find this tougher. OPERATION MANNA added to an earlier maiden victory when scoring at Chepstow on his handicap debut and Tom Lacey’s progressive charge looks worth sticking with in this. Camdonian could only manage fourth on his handicap bow but has plenty of scope on his second start after wind surgery.
