Marmont was only headed approaching the last when second to Lake Chapala at Newton Abbot and has claims on that form. Back To Balloo ran a similar race when second at Hexham, thought that was only a seller. Orion's Might bids to follow up last month’s course and distance success, though the drying ground is not in his favour. It was soft going when MASH POTATO won here in April but he handles quicker ground. Little went right last time at Perth and he’s worth another chance.
