Verdict

OPERATION MANNA has won 2 of his 3 starts so far despite not looking the finished article, confirming the promise of his hurdling debut with success at Exeter when last seen in March. The 6-y-o remains open to improvement and can make a winning handicap debut on his return, with Iberio feared most ahead of Charlie's Glance.
