Connections backing Marshman to make Group One leap in Middle Park
Gimcrack runner up tackles top-level assignment at Newmarket.
Marshman carries the hopes of Karl Burke in a fascinating renewal of the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. The Harry Angel colt won his maiden at Ayr in July and then went on to rout a field of 12 in a Thirsk novice in August when coming home eight and a half lengths clear of his nearest rival. Only a handful of days later he reappeared in the Group Two Gimcrack at York, finishing as runner-up behind Godolphin’s Noble Style after leading for much of the contest. After a gallant defeat, the youngster now does battle for Group One honours for owners Nick Bradley Racing and Elaine Burke, with Clifford Lee in the saddle once again. Burke said: “Marshman worked very well on Tuesday and it’s all systems go. He’s in great nick.Marshman🚀🚀🚀 a GBP 38,000 purchase from @GoffsUK Breeze Up🎯
