Maglev swerved leaving the stalls and then managed to find trouble in-running in a six-runner field when favourite on debut at Leicester. The form is nothing special but it will be a huge surprise if William Haggas’ juvenile doesn’t leave that running well behind as he gains experience. Ayr fourth Manaccan also has scope and Manettino was a debut winner here but ALFLAILA’s victory at Salisbury was franked when the runner-up landed a Listed contest at Newmarket last Saturday and Owen Burrows’ colt can defy his penalty.
Alflaila 4-1 (9-5) Held up towards rear, headway 3f out, went 3rd over 1f out, ran on strongly to get up close home, won at Salisbury 6f stks (4) gf in Jun beating System (9-0) by 1/2l, 9 ran.
