Rated 78, Marlay Park sets the standard having been gelded since last in action but debuts for a new yard. Alphonse Karr finished runner-up in both starts over 6f last year while Khatwah is fitted with a tongue-tie for her reappearance and drops down from 7f. FERNANDO RAH is another racing over a shorter trip and should go close having attempted to make all over 6f at Wolverhampton on last month’s debut but fading into third in the closing stages. Ruby Cottage is related to a couple of prolific winners and is preferred of the newcomers.
