Verdict

MARLEY FIRTH was well beaten in a Grade 2 at Sandown last time but won in testing ground at Chepstow before that. He’s penalised for that success but his nearest rival on these terms, Jaisalmer, arrives out of form. Miss Adventure was placed in a maiden hurdle earlier and Lost History was third at Lingfield before fading badly in the closing stages at Newbury while Miss Tynte may do better with last month’s hurdling debut at Taunton under her belt.
