11/4

Right back in the groove under 7 lb claimer Ryan Sexton this spring, winning twice on AW in March and good second on turf at Catterick since. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Merricourt^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| C

7/1

Course winner. Shaped well when fourth (Taskheer third) of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) 10 days ago, forcing good pace and no extra only late on. Has done majority of racing at 1m but should be equally effective back at 7f.

Forecasts

Taskheer (5/4), Chookie Dunedin (11/4), Diamond Haze (4/1), Astro Jakk (6/1), Merricourt (7/1), Yaaser (18/1)

The drop back to 7f could be a good move for MERRICOURT and he's taken to reverse recent 1m Musselburgh placings with Taskheer, who is nonetheless likely to give another good account of himself. Chookie Dunedin looks best of the remainder.
