Verdict

OPERATION MANNA took his career record to 3 wins from 4 starts when making a successful handicap debut at Chepstow on his return, well on top at the finish despite not yet looking like the finished article, and he can complete his hat-trick with further progress to come. The main danger could be Okavango Delta, who got off the mark last time out, ahead of Salvino.
