Verdict
KIT MARLOWE, who is related to no less than eight winners, made a very promising debut at Newmarket but things didn't go right for him on soft ground at Newbury and is given another chance. Central City has looked as though this extra furlong would suit in both starts to date, especially last time at Chester where he found the sharp track against him. Richard Fahey saddles two with Great Prospector possibly having more basic speed in his pedigree than Cosa Nostra. Flavius Titus hails from a yard going well and the 100,000gns colt is the second foal of a 6f winner who produced a winner over that trip with her first offspring. Etefaaq cost 110,000gns and is related to several winning sprinters.
