C&D winner South Stack appears to be back in the handicapper's grip while Jawhary could only finish third in a seller at Newton Abbot on his latest start and has changed stables since. MARJU KING finished last when favourite at Plumpton 12 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole story as he was closing on the leaders when swerving at the second-last and almost unseating his conditional rider. Eased afterwards, he looks to be on a decent mark at present and can recoup losses here. Gary Moore's duo Sunny Spells and Lombok are best watched returning from a lay-off while Spate River may also need this. Bagsy's Bridge could have each-way claims, however.
