Verdict

Having failed to get the job done after trading odds on in-running on 4 of his last 6 starts, MISTER MURCHAN certainly isn't one to go overboard about. That said, the race in which he went close last time at Lingfield was stronger than this and, still on an attractive mark up 2 lb, he is marginally preferred to Ideallko, who also arrives here on the back of a recent near-miss. The Scorpion King could be in line for minor place money.

  1. MISTER MURCHAN (IRE)
  2. IDEALLKO (FR)
  3. THE SCORPION KING
