Verdict

A tough one to call and the likes of Sir Roderic, Secret Return, and Tukhoom all make some appeal in what is a wide open contest. However, there is also likely to be more to come from MERWEB, who ran a blinder on his first start since being gelded when a close second at Lingfield earlier in the week and his quick return to action is taken as a big hint that now might just be the time to strike. A bold run form the equally lightly weighted Pickett's Charge would also come as no surprise in a race where it may pay to cover a couple of bases at least.
  1. Merweb
  2. Sir Roderic
  3. Secret Return
