Probably not too many to concentrate on, in truth, and this offers COUNT MERIBEL a chance to get off the mark for the season. A good novice, with plenty of track form to fall back upon, he may well have found the ground a bit too deep in the Bet Victor but still ran a creditable race to finish sixth. This drying ground is more to his liking, and he can come out on top. Lalor has class and came back to form here last time out; if he can build on that, he holds every chance. Warthog was a good winner of the Caspian Caviar and a 4lb rise gives him chances of following up, and Highway One O One must go close if reproducing his best form too.
