A competitive race for the grade. MERLIN'S BEARD progressed in leaps and bounds last season, and although he has a much higher mark to contend with, it's possible he could still be ahead of the assessor. Orin Swift ran well at Southwell in February and is well respected from the same mark, as is hat-trick seeker Man of Riddles.
