Verdict

MERROIR appeals as the sort who may have more to come for new trainer Joseph O'Brien and looks well worth siding with. Sharjah wasn't disgraced on his second run back from a break last week and is starting to look well treated, while Ragtime Red is also respected after a decent run last time.
