Verdict
Marble Sands was below par in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury last time but is no mug. Ginny's Destiny was second in a Grade 2 at Warwick latest and is obviously improving but RARE EDITION, unbeaten over hurdles, probably sets the standard and can complete the four-timer. Kaleb looks to have a bit to find on the form book but Ascot winner Persian Time could be anything and wouldn’t be running in a race like this if his trainer didn’t think him capable.
