Marion's Boy continues to defy the handicapper and bids for a four-timer of course and distance wins raised only 2lb for his latest success. Daheer has been in good form at Wolverhampton and finished ahead of Athmad at the latter track earlier while First Impression returns to the Flat with a chance having won over hurdles since finishing runner-up at Redcar last year. TOTALLY CHARMING came up short over a mile at Southwell last time but has plenty of scope back over this longer trip and gets another chance with Ryan Moore taking over the reins.
