George Margarson had a number of potential runners at the entry stage and there’s an argument that IDEAL GUEST has been given a chance by the handicapper. First Company has a record of just one win from 23 starts on the Turf though two recent performances at Bath put him very much in the picture for honours. Kodias Sangarius appeared fully exposed when with Richard Hannon and Henry Spiller attempts to find the key to the filly. Got No Dollars raced exuberantly at Newmarket on reappearance and ultimately paid the penalty for such keenness.
