MARMOT BAY is a rarity at this level in that she's thoroughly consistent and arrives on the back of a couple of plating wins at Wolverhampton. This doesn't look any tougher and Alastair Lidderdale's filly is worth sticking with in her current form. Small Fury got off the mark at Southwell and is an obvious threat if handling the Polytrack while Loki Strike's second at Redcar in September gives him a shout. Persian Marvel finished closer last time and Outbid makes most appeal of the remainder on her handicap debut.
