Verdict
Marky Bob is on the same mark as when winning at Fakenham in November and returned to form with a second at Newton Abbot. Stormbay Bomber still has time on his side but was pulled up when favourite here last month. Teescomponents Max will have learnt plenty from his third at Sedgefield and Sylvan Legend's third at Worcester was a better effort but GRAND MARCH should do better reverting to two miles after appearing to run out of stamina over 2m4f at Huntingdon last month.
