Verdict

KINGS MERCHANT marked himself down as one to be interested in moving forward when opening his account in ready fashion at Wolverhampton in March and, from the plum draw on handicap debut, he looks a big player under Oisin Murphy. The thriving Vince L'Amour faces his toughest assignment to date but remains of firm interest in his hat-trick bid. Blue Storm is another to consider.
