Verdict
Whisky Marmalade returned a shock winner here in January but appeared to have little excuse for a poor effort last time. Mister Marcasite was thereabouts here off similar marks last year but has not raced since July while Ring Eye was beaten only a length over 1m6f recently and recorded his only win so far over today's shorter trip. CANTANKEROUS was also placed over 1m6f at the track last month behind Bracken Brae, who has since won again. Daniel Loghnane's charge may prove good enough in this on only his second start since September.
