The fact that Mondain has been well found in the market on both his last starts suggests that he’s capable of better than he’s shown so far but the handicapper has failed to release the brake and that makes him vulnerable again. Young Merlin looks capable of more but he to features on a tough mark and it may pay to side with handicap debutant SAWASDEE especially now he steps up in trip with Silvestre De Sousa booked. Natsovia is another to be interested in but she really does need a strong pace to be successful and that’s not guaranteed here.
