Margarson welcomes International guests

GEORGE Margarson is thrilled to have two realistic chances in the Betfair Summer Double First Leg International at Ascot today in Imperial Guest and Excellent Guest.

The latter is the shortest in the betting of the pair, having placed second in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago, although his trainer has a slight preference for the chance of his stablemate.

“They’re both in good nick having had a breeze this morning. They are safely in their boxes, so that’s the hard bit done,” said Margarson.
