MARION’S BOY looks worth sticking with in this. He bids for a course and distance hat-trick having won a shade cosily on his latest start and can defy a 4lb rise. Taravara ran well for third in a higher grade here recently though remains a maiden while Quemonda can also do better back at this level having faced a hopeless task in Listed company last time. Kodiac Harbour won off a higher mark over a shorter trip here at this time last year and is preferred of the rest.
