Verdict
Caius Marcius was beaten more than 11 lengths behind in-form stablemate and fellow veteran Glinger Flame at Ayr and is only 5lb better off. Pentland Hills and Romeo Brown are returning from time off but both go well fresh. Barrichello has won four times over hurdles but never over a trip this far. ANYHARMINASKING hung under pressure at Newbury two weeks ago but still finished second behind a runaway winner and he’s only been raised a pound. Serious Operator would have claims on last season’s form but he’s not sparkled since wind surgery in the summer.
