Verdict

Marracudja collared subsequent Perth winner Baby King at Musselburgh two runs ago and is only a pound worse off. If forgiven a recent run at Newton Abbot, Paul Nicholls’ seven-year-old has decent claims. Jonjo O’Neill’s pair, FESTIVE AFFAIR and Mad Jack Mytton, both return from a break but the former has an excellent record around here and is only a pound higher than when second over course and distance in December and he won this last year, beating Noche De Reyes. Altiepix is another who could figure if fully wound-up and Workbench is also nicely treated on his return to action.
