Verdict

Bollywood has been busy over hurdles lately, staying on into third at Hereford just under a fortnight ago and filling the same place behind Fresher Fishing here last Tuesday. Back over fences, he must have some sort of chance but MARIGOLDS WAY looks the pick of the weights in this. Anthony Honeyball's nine-year-old enjoys a 19lb turnaround than when beaten eight lengths by Alison Batchelor's gelding over timber at Wincanton a year ago and attracted significant market support on his latest outing in March. El Diego's third at Wincanton last time was his best effort yet over the larger obstacles but more is needed here.
