It seems silly to look past four-timer seeking MARJURY DAW in this handicap as she will take all the beating leaving Solicitor as the main threat while General Tufto is more than capable on a going day. Having taken advantage of turning out under the same weight as when winning an apprentice race two starts to score with loads to spare last time the selection looks well treated under a penalty and should really be notching up four on the trot. Solicitor found just one two good when 1lb better off in a stronger race at Epsom last time and while he should go well again the pick looks better treated. General Tufto has won twice over course and distance and wasn't beaten that far on the latest of those last time out but the assessor hasn't done him any favours. Snowed Under is also in the runner's-up club when he bettered the one we've just mentioned last time but he too is up in the weights so Marjury Daw looks to have a great opportunity to land yet another race.
