Verdict
The last time MARJU KING encountered soft ground was in December last year when winning over C&D. He's taken to bounce back to winning ways off a lower mark today. Finch Flyer has been kept fresh with a spin at Brighton last month and his best form from earlier this year could see him in contention though Fontwell winner What's For Tea may find this on the short side having gone close over 2m5f at this track last time. Lady Bridget is 5lb higher than when winning at Chepstow in March and has been well beaten subsequently while Celtic Charlie was beaten 14 lengths when a losing favourite over C&D in the same month.
