Verdict

I AM ME has made a bright start for the Ed Bethell stable, off the mark on return/handicap debut at Musselburgh in April and far from disgraced in defeat either outing since. Taking on his elders for the first time with blinkers now reached for, he looks one of the likelier types dropping back to 1m. Mount King had a luckless run here 8 days ago and he's feared for the in-form Tim Easterby yard, as is top weight Cosmos Raj who is holding his form well.
