In depth
Verdict
Done Deal won over a mile here but was beaten under a penalty last time. It remains to be seen if MARGUB can do any better under his penalty but last month’s facile nine-length success over track and trip suggests he can and Jim Crowley prefers his chances to those of Rewaayat and the newcomer Ghalyoon. The latter is related to a host of winner and may well prove the biggest threat given Emphatic has had plenty of chances but looks no nearer winning.
