Disclosure beat Gabrial The Thug, who was bidding for a four-timer, at Wolverhampton last month and has obvious claims. Marciano was in good form at Southwell over the winter while Trinity Star ended last season with back-to-back wins at Ayr and Nottingham and may be capable of further progress. DARK OCEAN landed this last year when returning from a break and might be poised to stage a repeat. He's 4lb higher but the booking of Graham Lee has to be a positive and Jedd O'Keeffe's string appears in good order. Cono Zur will be happier back on Turf and could also figure off a fair mark.
