In depth
Verdict
Making a chasing debut in handicap company can backfire but we'll take a chance with MARILYN MONROE. Anthony Honeyball' mare remains lightly-raced and the trip should prove no problem as she has won over 3m over hurdles and she also won a point-to-point back in 2018. Miss Antipova has the edge in chasing experience and ran her best race to date last time at Worcester. A similar effort puts her bang in contention while Plantagenet, Fizzlestix and Prairie Town are consistent enough to take a hand in this ordinary grade.
