MAROWN won over hurdles here back in March and returned a beaten favourite over these fences on his chasing debut and return to action. But he’ll be straighter today with a return to his winning distance also in his favour and is taken to reverse latest running with Seemorelights. The latter should go well again but Port Of Mars was still well beaten when third at Bangor on his first start over fences and may be seen to be better effect over a longer trip.
