The New Marwan could be worth a second look in this dropping down in trip as his yard is in fine form at present. Gangway and Visibility are both seeking a third victory here and Noble Mark has placed the last twice on Turf while Alpine Sierra was third at Hamilton last month. Definite was a winner at Haydock in June and a long way ahead of Francesi later at Nottingham. DUNGAR GLORY failed to quicken over a mile at Pontefract last week and this is probably more his trip nowadays. He’s well drawn for a front-runner and can give the weight away to the recent course and distance winner Kenilworth King.
