MARABOUT has had just the two starts this year and may be up to scoring off his current mark dropped in class - he gets the token vote in this lowly contest. Celestial Dawn continues to slide down the weights without any notable improvement but Amelia Jay posted a better effort when runner-up here last time. Boy The Bell won an amateurs' race over 7f in July and Red Shadow's only win in 34 starts came over course and distance.
