          Verdict

          King Marju opened his account in good fashion at Newmarket last month and gets the vote to follow up on his debut in a nursery, with Ratukidul and Aberdeen Park rated the main dangers. The selection looks well treated for his first start in a handicap judged by his latest effort and representing the stable of Peter Chapple-Hyam that has done well with their juveniles this term, he is taken to defy top weight. Sir Michael Stoute's Ratukidul made a winning debut at Folkestone before not enjoying the clearest of runs on her debut in a nursery. She rates a bigger threat than David Loder's Simplify, who has struggled to reproduce his best form in two starts over seven furlongs. Aberdeen Park has shown improved form in her last two starts but has suffered at the hands of the handicapper as a result and of more interest may be John Dunlop's Coup d'Etat, who makes his debut in handicap-company off a fair looking mark. The Mark Tompkins-trained Maneki Neko is similarly lightly raced and is another worthy of a mention along with Penny Island from the in-form stable of Alan King but it is King Marju that gets the vote.
