Verdict
MARSHALL AID wasn’t beaten far over track and trip earlier and was upped in class and distance when fourth at Lingfield last time. He may prove good enough getting a tow round from Volturnus, who was denied the lead here last time but had made all over course and distance before that. Di's Gift is usually in the mix but her earlier success came on the Fibresand at Southwell but Temasek Star journeys over from Ireland and won off a higher mark at Wolverhampton at this time last year.
