Verdict

MIGHT AND MERCY has fallen a long way in the weights and could be ready to strike having taken a clear step back in the right direction when fourth at this venue 2 weeks ago. Jazzy Dancer and Iva Batt are a couple of potential threats.

  1. MIGHT AND MERCY
  2. JAZZY DANCER (IRE)
  3. IVA BATT (IRE)
