MERLIN'S BEARD is improving quite a bit now, finding plenty for pressure when putting daylight between his rivals at Bath last week, and is taken to defy a penalty. It can be argued that fellow 3-y-o Hooves Like Jagger is also on the upgrade and he may emerge as the biggest threat if turned out quickly after his satisfying run here on Wednesday, with Weardiditallgorong best of the others.
