WHATSGOINGONMARVIN hit the right note on his handicap debut when scoring at Ayr and a 6 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Bulldog Spirit should ensure Sir Mark Prescott's improver doesn't have things all his own way though with Tailorman and Polling Day also well worthy of consideration.
