This looks a good opportunity for MARCHING ON to get off the mark. He finished fourth over today's trip at York last time and that's better form than Celestrial, Allegri and Pearl Catcher have shown so far. The latter could prove best of that trio back on turf after a spin on the Fibresand, while the newcomers look nothing special, though Rocktherunway is related to a couple of winners and at 40,000gns, Just Fabulous was the most expensive.
