Verdict

MERRY BERRY displayed improved form when just touched off on handicap debut at Exeter last month. With that race working out well and this step back up in trip promising to suit, she's a very appealing candidate, with the booking of a good-value conditional the icing on the cake. Christopher Robin is a threat starting ouf for a new yard, with Regaby also interesting.
