    Verdict

    ALFONSO MANANA looks to have a good opportunity in this. James Given’s colt likes to race prominently so this drop down to the minimum trip may well suit. He’s been placed over 6f at Wolverhampton the last twice and is preferred to Spike's Princess, last of seven here on a recent debut. Both the newcomers are out of prolific mares with Intense Romance boasting eight winning relatives and Mia Wallace seven but the betting may offer the best clue to their chances.
