Verdict

SCARAMANGA ran well at Newmarket last time, but he didn't do a lot to help his rider there, and the combination of Dettori replacing the trainer's daughter, and the fitting of headgear should ensure a more positive outcome. Young Merlin was readily held by Solo Saxophone at York last time, but a 10lb swing in the weights will help him, and while he can look a little half-hearted in a finish, the fitting of blinkers will almost certainly help in that regard.
  1. Scaramanga
