WHATSGOINGONMARVIN 10/3
WHATSGOINGONMARVIN at 10/3, Mickey Bowen and Sean Bowen, is the one I would be with. He wears headgear for the first time, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 5% rider to 19% on a horse out of form.
KATES CHOICE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 3 runs on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is soft.
The dangers are DEPARTMENT OF WAR at 80/1 and BOYLES HILL at 7/4 (a course winner).
