Forecasts

Merry Berry (15/8), Taragrace (15/8), Persuer (11/4), Bon Retour (15/2)

Verdict

TARAGRACE still has few miles on the clock and arrives on the back of an excellent Bangor third (form has been franked) so is taken to emerge on top in a tightly-knit handicap. Merry Berry rates a big threat in her attempt for a four-timer despite having a career-high mark to overcome, while recent Warwick scorer Persuer seems sure to be on the premises too.
