Verdict

Some of these have failed to live up to expectations this term but RED MARLING is certainly deserving of another chance. Still a maiden after 10 attempts. he's posted good efforts over this trip the last three times and only went under by a short-head latest at Leicester in a similar contest. He handles all ground and looks the safest option. Birdolini concedes weight all round but looks on the upgrade. All runs have been at this trip and she was noted staying on nicely on her first run for over seven months in a Newbury handicap and rates the danger. Malpas Missile has yet to rediscover her best and Lady Bayside looks the one for the shortlist after a better effort here last time in a maiden contest won by Godolphin's Outsmart.
