MARINE ONE went close on several occasions last year and was gelded over the winter. He may prove good enough in this company on his reappearance given Full Suit’s recent second came in a lowly seller at Leicester and Bounderby was still well beaten when runner-up in an amateurs’ race at Haydock. Its'afreebee could figure on an earlier second at Chelmsford when finishing well ahead of Max Liebermann and may prove the biggest threat.

Its'afreebee (IRE) 25-1 (9-12) Slowly away, well off the pace in last pair, some headway 4f out, soon beaten, never a factor, 7th of 8, 17 3/4l behind Dive For Gold (8-12) at Salisbury 1m 2f stks (5) gf in May.
