Verdict

A few with chances but MERCIAN WARRIOR looks to have got in lightly for his nursery bow on the back of a fine recent Curragh second so earns a confident vote. Sandown runner-up Rating heads the list of dangers, although Salisbury-scorer Mr Baloo and in-form maiden Ebt's Guard can have a say too.
