The New Marwan drops in class but was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Chester by Raffle Prize. Mark Johnston trains the latter so should have a good line on the chances of ONE HART, whose half-brother won in testing going. The latter is also preferred to another newcomer in Godfather though Van Dijk and Must Dream should both find this easier than their respective latest tasks at York. Bad Rabbit finished last of seven here on his debut.
