Marlay Park¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/4

Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut 17 days ago, no match for winner. Open to improvement on the back of that and respected.

Mujbar⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| BF

9/2

Has a useful pedigree and was strong in the betting prior to a somewhat underwhelming eighth of 11 in a Newbury novice on debut. Clearly thought capable of better.

Forecasts

Visionary Ruler (5/2), Megallan (5/2), Marlay Park (11/4), Mujbar (9/2), Diamonds Are King (7/1), Dubai Honour (15/2), Moraaheq (8/1), Dejame Paso (16/1), Shady Mcgee (22/1), Miramichi (25/1), Bodroy (66/1), Laxton Ladd (80/1)

MEGALLAN looked a top prospect when quickening up smartly to go clear over a mile at this course on debut and, with the drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience him too much, he should take all the beating despite plenty of interesting types in opposition. Marlay Park should improve from his debut and newcomer Visionary Ruler, a half-brother to high-class Avilius, stands out on pedigree.
