Marked Man looks a horse on the upgrade and is taken to score again with Dead Mans Dante and Pass Me A Dime posing as the likely dangers. A winner last time out over two miles Marked Man looked as though this slightly longer trip will suit. He beat a competitive field that day an although a rise in the weights was inevitable he looks like an improver. Dead Mans Dante came good over a similar trip at Sedgefield last time out and the yard has been going well of late. He looks nicely treated here so is another worthy of consideration. Pass Me A Dime who won around Plumpton last time out but this looks a better race so he will have to raise his game once more here. So for the winner we return to Marked Man.
