      Verdict

      Marvel is 0-15 but has been running better than form figures would suggest since reverting to the Turf and makes more appeal than the returning Vardon Flyer and an out-of-sorts Moonbootz. Dana Forever was a well-backed favourite at Wolverhampton last month and only beaten a short-head, though is 3lb higher now. MUSAHABA has improved dropped in distance recently and failed to get a clear run at Newcastle on Monday so looks the one to be on.
