Verdict

At a track where her trainer's hunters do well. MR MERCURIAL looks a solid option after a promising reappearance in a point-to-point last time. Although not the best on official ratings, he has proved his well being recently and also has winning form here on soft ground, so there is a fair bit going for him. Broadway Symphony looks the pick of Tracey Bailey's pair and could emerge as a contender, while Opening Batsman is not ruled out and both Real Milan and Grandioso could finish among the prize money if running to the best of their current abilities.
  1. Mr Mercurial
  2. Broadway Symphony
  3. Real Milan
