In depth

Verdict

Sweet Marmalade has been running very poorly over hurdles since a fair debut over 1m2f on fast going at Ayr last summer. Tajdeed was well supported for his debut at Ripon in Agust but badly needed the experience and has changed stables. GLORIOUS DANE was bought out of a Lingfield seller last month when only just beaten and could repay some of the investment in a poor race in which neither of the two newcomers need be world-beaters to get involved.
