A few of these have been threatening to win. MARMALADY is one and she makes most appeal after going close in a higher grade at Ascot with Hector Crouch taking 7lb off her back in this. Salvatore Fury also has claims on his third at Goodwood in July and Shamahan made the frame at the same track earlier this month. Ginzan and Hamoody have been thereabouts off their current marks of late with the former winning this in 2011. Swendab is back on a winning mark if reproducing his best, as is Trader Jack.
