Verdict

MARLBOROUGH PLACE sets a decent standard judged on his two starts in Ireland and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he proved capable of defying a 7lb penalty following his Limerick success back in July. Holly Mist showed signs of inexperience when second at Lingfield earlier in the month and may well have benefited from that outing, while Ablon completes the shortlist.

Top Tip: Marlborough Place (1)
Watch out for: Holly Mist (5)

Marlborough Place is likely capable of better for his new yard, having signed off his time in Ireland with a win at Limerick but he's conceding plenty of weight to the selection HOLLY MIST, who is favoured on this occasion. She improved from her debut despite plenty not going right at Lingfield last time and holds strong claims here assuming things go smoother. Ablon is respected also as she too is coming off an improved effort when runner-up over 8f here. The drop to 7f looks fine and she may be the main danger to the selection.
