In depth
Verdict
Marsabit continues to improve and won again when lading the odds at Doncaster. He’s upped in class and raised a further 5lb but MARS LANDING (NAP) made a winning return to action over track and trip back in April and Sir Michael Stoute’s charge makes more appeal off a 3lb higher mark. Eton College has recorded all four wins over shorter trips so far while Emraan slips further down the weights and Dartington makes his seasonal debut having been gelded since last year.
