Verdict
THE SPECIAL ONE (NAP) has won two handicaps at this level narrowly so the assessor has been unable to raise her by too much and Finley Marsh's claim is a major plus. She was conceding 10lb to Lesantoi when the latter was third here last month and is no worse off so can complete a hat-trick. Chough has yet to win but has gone very close twice recently including over this track and trip so should get involved but Harlequin Rock, who was in decent form in early summer, has been running poorly. Suni Dancer has been racing over shorter trips and this looks a better option but Limerick Lord has never won in 14 starts on Turf and Captain Marmalade has been unable to take advantage of a falling mark.
