Verdict

MARGUB is a half-brother to a winner over today’s trip on the all-weather and wasn’t beaten that far when fifth over 6f at Goodwood last summer. He makes most appeal of those with experience of the racecourse ahead of Soar Above and Eternal Destiny. Of the newcomers, Iron Dove cost 65,000gns, Domestic Way is related to winners in Qatar and Make Haste Slowly can boast four winning relatives.
