Verdict

A switch to Fibresand has produced a marked progression in the form of MARBLE BAR with a C&D double already in the form book and the likelihood is that he will be able to record another success here despite a 5lb penalty. Katheefa chased home the selection last time but fails to convince that he could turn that form around and Mr Strutter if he breaks on level terms looks a bigger threat given his liking for this surface. Global Melody deserves some respect but this 6f trip looks as though it will just stretch his suspect stamina.
