Verdict
This is a very competitive affair and we like the look of Marabar, with Aquila Loco and Feast Of Romance also expected to run well. David Chapman appears to pop up with a winner every other day and Marabar could be on his way back to form. He finished a respectable third behind Aquila Loco over the six furlong trip last time and gets a nice weight pull of five pounds after going down by three lengths. Aquilo Loco will be a tough nut to crack again this afternoon, but Marabar may reverse the form over this longer trip. Feast Of Romance is closely matched with the selection on running here in December and is another to consider in a wide open event. Lakeside Guy and Set Alight can also take a hand in the finish here, but Marabar, not the most confident of choices, just edges the decision
