Shadwell homebred MANAAFITH got 2023 off to the perfect start today at Southwell, making it five from five on the all-weather - securing herself a spot in the AW Championships in the process!

The four-year-old Exceed And Excel filly was held up towards the rear of the field in the early stages but responded gamely when asked to quicken up the home straight, powering into the lead 1f from home and staying on well a facile victory.

Congratulations to connections!
