Marshman is set to go up 10lbs in future handicaps so a 6lb penalty for his recent five-length success at York last week may not prevent him from following up and the Mark Tompkins-trained gelding gets the vote to do so ahead of Oasis Star and Stream of Gold. The last mentioned is an unexposed colt from the stable of Sir Michael Stoute, after just three starts, and there should be more to come from the son of Rainbow Quest although it is debatable whether he will be suited by the drop in trip. Top weight Ettrick Water has already won three handicaps this term but faces no easy task under the burden of 9st 4lbs and of more interest may be the in-form Irish raider Empirical Power who has won his last three starts. Godolphin's Bayeux obviously has to be respected under Frankie Dettori, while the consistent Digital is entitled to again be thereabouts especially with ground conditions in his favour. Jeremy Noseda has his string in good form at present but his representative Wizard Of Noz is likely to find this tougher than the race that he won over course and distance earlier in the month. Several others have place claims but for the winner it is difficult to get away from Marshman who will not mind the ground comes here in good form and is still potentially well treated.
