Man Look has a 10lb hike to contend with having won easily at Bath in a lower grade race. But MARENGO (NAP) beat higher rated opposition than this over course and distance a fortnight ago and can effectively race off a lower mark with Jordan Williams’ allowance taken into account. Cotillion went close over 1m6f at Nottingham last time when ahead of Goldslinger while Distant High has been in good form over 1m2f at Chepstow having placed three times off today’s mark since winning there in April. Sennockian Song was still beaten a long way when third at Goodwood while Perrault continues to slide down the weights and is preferred to stablemate Bayan Kasirga.
