Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

Mr Marvlos^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: T Kent| OR: 52

16/1

Unreliable type. Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces back on and will prove suited by a return to this trip.

Forecasts

Medici Pass (6/5), Locked N' Loaded (7/2), Neptune Legend (6/1), Van Zant (15/2), Anif (14/1), Twistaline (16/1), Mr Marvlos (16/1), Tacitus (50/1), Rocklyn (50/1), Total Lockdown (100/1)

MEDICI PASS got off the mark in emphatic fashion on her first start for Iain Jardine at Newcastle last week and will take a bit of stopping under a penalty if turning up in similar form. Locked N' Loaded had little go right at Wolverhampton last time and is second choice ahead of Van Zant.
