        In depth

        Verdict

        Marmite lines up in enough form to overcome a low draw, with Lady Bower, Air Chief and King Supreme seen as potential dangers. Marmite looks the clear form pick based on back-to-back successes with the aids applied at Brighton and Wolverhampton in July, and on breeding she will appreciate the step up to a mile. Connections were keen to keep her after her latest fillies' only selling success, and although boxed in stall one here, she should be up to the task. Lady Bower pulled out all the stops to make all in a Musselburgh maiden six-days ago and has a 6lb penalty to overcome here. She hails from an in-form yard and is improving, so has to be considered, while Air Chief also makes his nursery bow and is another that will feel the benefit of the extra distance. King Supreme and Valhillen have shown a modicum of ability and also rate small mentions, but Marmite is the pick.
