Bodega has gone up 7lb form winning easily at Market Rasen but Ian Williams puts up a 10lb claimer today. Lady Markby returned from an enforced lay-off with a fine run at Uttoxeter. She is only a pound higher but has only won so far on soft going. Marble Moon won over 2m4f here last month but is 10lb higher today and upped in grade. Iniciar should be approaching peak fitness but Beneagles has not progressed as expected. ROLLING MAUL will be all the better for a recent run at Worcester and was in good form on the Flat around this time last year. He’s slipped to a decent mark and can give his stable a third win in a row in this handicap.
