KRISTAL HART will need a canny ride to nurse her home given her stamina weakness but she has the right man on board and this is one of the easier 2m trips so she can take advantage of a mark she is very capable off. Be Daring looks likely to be better suited by 2m having himself come up short stamina wise over slightly longer trips and he enters the reckoning here. Our Merlin was running a much better race last time until unseating and while his jumping in general is sketchy he must have a chance.
