Marayel has been racing in France without much success and Hilal Kobeissi takes on the challenge of finding a suitable race for the now-gelded three-year-old. The Green Man sets the standard on British form given he’s rated 78 following a couple of near misses at Leicester and Newmarket but it could be worth chancing SAXON VILLAGE as he appears more open to improvement. he hasn't raced since a debut at Newcastle in March but he is closely related to a number of decent handicappers over similar trips. Dance To Excel is also one to note in the market on a belated racecourse debut.
