Verdict

Two of the runners (on form) stand head and shoulders above the rest of the field with MERCY MERCY ME given a narrow vote over McNamaras Band on the back of a return from a wind operation, with cheekpieces on for the first-time and a noticeable drop in grade. It’s hard to fault the form of McNamaras Band so far especially as it’s been gained over C&D and he’s the main danger. Glen Vine, Karabunga Dude and Sainlouis Des Pres are a trio of others who are worth keeping an eye on in the market and race.
  1. Mercy Mercy Me
  2. Mcnamaras Band
  3. Glen Vine
