Verdict
Adweb was all out to get the better of Marabar at Kempton last time. She is quite exposed and the handicapper appears to have been somewhat harsh in raising her 8lbs for that win. On the other hand, Parkside Pursuit appears to be on an extremely lenient mark. He notched up a hat trick in facile manner at Ayr ten days ago, has since failed to defy a six pound penalty but is now back on the same mark as his Ayr victory and must be hard to beat if in the same mood. Dorchester has been in good heart lately, following up a welcome win at Windsor with a couple of good seconds and should again be thereabouts.
