The booking of Simon Walker suggests that a better run is expected from Ralphy Lad as he bids to end a long losing run on a surface that he can operate on. Another jockey booking that takes the eye is that of Serena Brotherton for Free Bounty and if she takes to the surface, she's a player here at a trip that will suit her better than most of these. Merriment has to show that she can cope with fibresand but her overall form on the AW would give her a chance. AZAMESSE has shown some decent turf form and his breeding gives some hope that he may be suited by this surface and on his second run for his new yard. He offers some value with no stamina doubts. 1.
