Verdict

MARLAY PARK, now on a career-low mark, showed enough at Brighton to think he can win in this grade so he's selected in the hope he can aside a lacklustre run at Epsom last time. JR Climbs put in his best effort of the season when second at Haydock and he's a danger on that form, with Excellent Echo also of interest.

  1. MARLAY PARK
  2. JR CLIMBS (IRE)
  3. EXCELLENT ECHO
