MARSHALLED can overcome a 7lb rise for his win at Clonmel where the Flemensfirth gelding got off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections. The Eoin Doyle-trained Key Commander and the first-time blinkered Empire Burleque rates as the main threats while Northern Emperor may be capable of going well at a likely bigger price.
