Verdict

Caledonia Laird has obvious claims having won over track and trip on firm ground last week. Dutchartcollector won at Kempton in December and BornTo Fly landed a maiden race at Yarmouth earlier last year. Division Belle has been placed on her last couple of starts and can figure but MARMARUS gets the nod. He hasn't threatened in maiden company so far but his form is still superior to most of these and he may be capable of making a winning start in handicaps with Ryan Tate's 5lb claim helping his cause.
