In depth
Verdict
MARZOUQ showed ability to take second over today’s trip at Kempton on his racecourse debut. Clear of the rest on that occasion, the Noseda colt looks sure to make a bold bid. Wind In Her Sails improved to place at Lingfield last month and Biologist finished a lot closer at Nottingham for her in-form yard.Bizet gets first-time headgear after a couple of backward steps but Hint Of A Smile looks a likely improver on the back of a modest debut effort. Kohinoor Diamond and Banta Bay are newcomers to note.
