MARILYN gets a tentative vote to find the necessary improvement stepping up in trip after finishing fourth over 6f here on her debut. Pitch High has similar claims having occupied the same finishing position over today’s distance at Sandown on his introduction but Elements Legacy will find this tougher having only competed in selling company to date. Apple Scruffs is better than his latest effort suggests though his best form has been over 5f so far and Roman Legion gets help from the saddle with Jack Duern’s 3lb allowance.
