Verdict

The New Marwan has run here eight times but never won, though was only beaten a short-head on his latest visit with Little Ted well behind. Visibility won over this trip at Pontefract last month but INNSE GALL looked to be coming to hand with a close third at Carlisle and he is overdue another win. Urban War has placed in small fields the last twice while Celtic Empress is sure to appreciate this drop in grade but she didn’t appear to stay tried over this trip at Ayr last year.
