Verdict

Horses aren't machines, and it can often pay to forgive them the odd below par run. This could prove to be the case here with MANWELL, who probably wasn't solely stopped by the 18lb rise at Uttoxeter in January. He over-raced (keen) when bidding to follow up his New Years Eve success, and the tongue tie might help him to settle today on ground on which we know he revels. A mark of 102 remains exploitable, and the Sam England trained seven-year-old can be fancied to bounce back and down the dropped in trip Uttoxeter winner Modulus.
