Another difficult wide-open contest that could depend on the pace set by the Michael Bell-trained,
MERLIN. The Oasis Dream-gelding won in May over 6f at Nottingham, before franking the form next time out when winning a Haydock handicap, half length in front of Brogan, 10 days ago.
High Acclaim and
Farook are capable of setting the pace themselves and could possible take advantage of any chinks in the amour of MERLIN. Despite his experience,
King Of Paris still ran green when asked to quicken last time out and could be one for the notebooks following the race.
