In depth

Verdict

Marracudja has a decent strike-rate considering he’s never been straightforward. Golden Taipan won twice at Perth in June but has struggled off higher marks since. NORTHERN BOUND beat Fat Sam almost 10 lengths at Bangor. The runner-up is 9lb better off here and now fitted with cheekpieces but may still struggle to reverse the placings. Le Cameleon might need this run and would also have preferred a softer surface.
