In depth

Verdict

MARBLE MOON hasn’t won for a while but can’t get much lower in the weights and is more than capable of figuring in a race like this if Eleanor Williams can persuade him to put his best hoof forward. On Call is a big danger on a recent second here over 3m but still seeks a first victory under Rules, as does Organised Solution. Clondaw Rigger is preferred to Lex Talionis and The Toojumpa of the others but all of that trio are proving hard to place.
