Marjina was most impressive last time and can make it two wins in a row by beating Lady Of Fortune and Leith Hill Star. Emma Lavelle's mare did the job well at Uttoxeter last time , making all for a comfortable success. The way she quickened when challenged suggests she had a little bit in reserve and so she has plenty of scope for improvement. Lady Of Fortune landed a novice event on heavy ground at Hereford last season. She is very lightly raced and so as with the selection she can be expected to improve. Leith Hill Star is no spring chicken but can be given a squeak on the pick of last season's form. Burnt Out should improve on her recent seasonal debut effort and could be the pick of the others, however there looks to be plenty more to come from Marjina and she is a confident choice
