Verdict

MERLIN GIANT landed a maiden at Galway in July that's worked out well and is open to further improvement now venturing into handicaps, so he's put forward as the answer. Coventry, Desertmore House and Moving Water are a trio of potential threats.

  1. MERLIN GIANT (FR)
  2. COVENTRY (IRE)
  3. DESERTMORE HOUSE (IRE)
