Forecasts

Illustrious Spirit (3/1), George Thomas (9/2), Mercers (5/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (6/1), Little Floozie (6/1), Lady Florence (17/2), Baileys Freedom (14/1), Edge Of The Bay (16/1), Impart (22/1), Toolmaker (80/1)

Verdict

MERCERS already has 3 C&D wins to her name and a reproduction of the form she showed when second back here last time may be good enough to see her add to her tally. Little Floozie was runner-up on her handicap debut and an unexposed profile provides her with the scope to build on that. Sunday's Wolverhampton fourth George Thomas also makes the shortlist.

  1. MERCERS
  2. LITTLE FLOOZIE
  3. GEORGE THOMAS
