Verdict

BONE MARRA got up by a half-length to regain the winning thread at Southwell last month and only has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. The step back up in trip won't pose him any problems and he could make it four wins from five starts on the all-weather. Do Bronxs would be a player if he reproduced his runner-up effort at Chester two starts ago and might improve for the application of cheekpieces. Applesandpears completes the shortlist.

Top Tip: Bone Marra (3)
Watch out for: Do Bronxs (1)

C&D winner DELUDED was unsuited by the drop back to 6f but finished strongly suggesting he is on a good mark now returned to his optimum distance. He can defeat the consistent Applesandpears who looks well treated back in a handicap after a solid Listed run last time. Espona Bay is another who arrives in form and the C&D winner will appreciate the drop in trip having been outstayed over 1m last time. He should also be on the premises.
