Forecasts

Call Me Lord (5/2), Our Merlin (7/2), Gassin Golf (7/1), Drops Of Jupitor (7/1), Clayton (7/1), Brillare Momento (8/1), Monty's Award (14/1), Hurricane Hollow (14/1), Raven's Tower (20/1), Dartagnan Le Dun (66/1)

This looks quite open, and plenty can be given a chance. There shouldn't be a lack of pace on, with both Brillaire Momento and Monty's Award in the field and that should help CALL ME LORD settle a bit better. He has the potential to be better than a handicapper and can take this. Gassin Golf has had his supporters banging their heads against walls over the years, but this test looks ideal and under a patient Brian Hughes ride, looks the main danger. Our Merlin has absolutely hosed up in his last three and even a near two-stone weight rise might not stop him if he can continue in the same vein.
