Verdict
Marquee Club is upped in class having reversed earlier form with Golden Opportunity when scoring at Newcastle a week ago. The latter had finished ahead of Ninety Years Young at the same track earlier. Gracious Tom is capable at this level but 7lb higher than when winning at Southwell while Alkashaaf drops back down to his winning trip after placed efforts over 7f and is preferred to White Royale. But GARAM made a winning start at Wolverhampton earlier this month and given she beat Blue Bahia, rated 80, Hugo Palmer’s filly should hold her own in this company on her handicap debut.
