Verdict
Marwari did appear thrown in on his old form when scoring here nine days ago so it remains to be seen whether the 5lb penalty will be enough to stop him on this occasion. Dan De Light disappointed last time out but at longer odds while MAN ON A MISSION is worth more than just a cursory glance. Connections have booked Richard Kingscote to ensure he’ll be given a powerful ride and the gelding would have finished closer at Lingfield but for meeting trouble. Gustav Graves needs to improve upon previous endeavours at this venue while Scale Force has tumbled far enough in the weights to be of interest.
