Verdict

MARJU KING produced a much better effort at Hereford last time without looking like winning, but that still looks the best recent form on offer here. He gets the vote ahead of Shipboard Romance, whose second at Worcester is her best effort, but she's returning from nearly a year off the track. French raider Splendid Life was beaten a distance despite finishing third in a hurdle race in the provinces last time, while Munich was a tailed off third of five on his latest start having ran well at Plumpton before that. What's For Tea is out of sorts and Near Germany hasn't raced since 2008.
