ALFONSO MANANA showed some improvement when fourth over track and trip and may prove good enough in an uninspiring maiden. Ferocity drops back down in distance having returned a losing favourite over a mile at Chelmsford while Love And Be Loved showed some progress at Kempton last time and may figure. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder with racecourse experience so the newcomer Rockalater is worth a second glance in the betting.
