MARCELLO SI was beaten just under 4 lengths when fourth behind Spirit of Ash at Newcastle a fortnight ago but, as was the case on his seasonal reappearance at the same course in May, he was arguably sent for home too early. He meets that rival on 4lb better terms back up in trip here and is taken to open his account at the tenth attempt. Spirit of Ash is respected nonetheless and is feared most ahead of Tafsir
