Steadied start, keen in touch in rear, headway over 1f out, soon chased leader, ridden to challenge inside final furlong, stayed on to lead final strides
MARATHA looks to be the most likely winner of this, having won well over C&D last time out. He's obviously higher in the weights now but that was a fairly taking win and the form from his penultimate start looks solid. He should be the one to side with here, ahead of another AW specialist Fayez and another recent C&D winner in Mount Tahan.
