Verdict

Not a strong maiden and Marozi is taken to account for Six Of Trumps and Sweetsformysweet. The selection ran well on debut at Newmarket last season and always looked as if a winter on his back would bring about some improvement. It is worrying that he has taken so long to return to the racecourse but it would be disappointing were he not good enough to take such an opportunity as this. Six Of Trumps was easily outpointed at Southwell after flying high at Ascot on debut. More is required this afternoon. Sweetsformysweet was a very expensive purchase from the Calder sales. The market is watched to see if he is fancied first time out. Bold Bobby has shaped as if needing further and having spurned easier opportunities, the percentage call is to oppose. Regal Cheer was quietly backed on debut and can be expected to have come on for the run. Granted normal improvement, Marozi looks the call and we seek not to oppose.
