OUR MERLIN absolutely bolted up at Plumpton last week and providing he handles the quick turnaround will take some beating with the 7lb penalty surely still leaving him well below his soon to be revised mark. Born Legend steps into handicaps after winning last time out himself and he has scope for improvement so rates an obvious danger. Argyle ran well in his first handicap at Lingfield so he too is worth considering off the same mark.
