Forecasts

Maraakiz (5/4), Duty Of Care (13/8), Medway (6/1), Papas Dream (14/1), Abrag (16/1), Goodwood Glen (25/1), Sergeant Major (28/1), The Vegas Raider (50/1), Dark Esteem (100/1), Hanoverian King (300/1)

Verdict

MARAAKIZ probably didn't beat a great deal on his debut at Chelmsford, but the way he asserted in the final 1f suggests he's likely to leave that form behind, so he gets the nod to defy a penalty. Duty of Care is a well-bred newcomer from a top stable who requires close market attention, while Medway caught the eye staying on from a poor position at Wolverhampton and also needs considering.

  1. MARAAKIZ (IRE)
