Merlin Magic sets a good standard on form having chased home the Solario Stakes fourth last time. Here he faces two potentially smart newcomers with HERCULEAN and Wadilsafa boasting attractive pedigrees. Both are entered for bigger prizes this autumn and the market will be informative. Wadilsafa hails from a yard whose horses improve for a run and as such HERCULEAN gets the vote.
