Miss Marauder can land her hat-trick tonight with Our Kes and Treasure Isle providing the most likely opposition. Marco Botti's filly has put up two scintillating victories at Kempton this term and posted a very speedy time in the latter of those events. A 6lb rise for that success should not create too much bother. Our Kes is under a penalty for a recent victory at Kempton. She is ultra-consistent at this level and continues to pay her way. Treasure Isle won readily off a basement figure of 45. The booking of Dale Gibson looks significant. Stringsofmyheart won a claimer for William Haggas at June and while frustrating to follow since, he is at least coming from a yard that are sending out winners. Golden Wave is watched in the market on seasonal reappearance. Niqaab and Tabulate shouldn't be good enough. An obvious chance for Miss Marauder and we seek not to oppose.
