Forecasts

Box Office (4/1), No Ceiling (5/1), Myroundorurs (5/1), Mercian King (7/1), Brother Bennett (7/1), Modeligo (15/2), Stealing Mix (10/1), Deise Vu (14/1), Theatre Mill (18/1), Accessallareas (66/1)

Verdict

MERCIAN KING may be able to outclass these. He looked good when winning at Worcester last year and will get this run to suit, with Deise Vu and particularly Myroundorurs likely to blast away in front. The latter could be the danger if allowed too much rope, as he's back on a winning mark and this tight track will suit his style. Stealing Mix and No Ceiling are others to consider.
  1. Mercian King
  2. Myroundorurs
  3. Stealing Mix
