It could pay to stick with the three-year-olds in this and MARMION gets the nod. He just failed to catch the winner over today's trip at Lingfield on his debut but finished a street clear of the rest and can go one better. Neymar finished closer over 1m2f last time and could go well along with Beverley runner-up Al Nehayy. Suzi Icon and Constable Buckley are likely improvers and Sherry finished a close-up fourth over track and trip last time. Prairie Town and Balmusette make most appeal of the hurdlers returning to the Flat.
