Forecasts

Merrimack (13/8), Speed Of Maajid (2/1), General Assembly (9/2), Diamond Dreamer (7/1), Mumayaz (11/1), Fiorella Princess (33/1), Lequinto (50/1), Neptune Legend (66/1)

Verdict

MERRIMACK made a bold bid from the front over 6f here last time and makes plenty of appeal back over the minimum trip. In-form pair Speed Of Maajid and Mumayaz both need to break better but could be the beneficiaries if the pace is overly strong, with General Assembly another to consider with sights lowered.

  1. MERRIMACK
  2. SPEED OF MAAJID
  3. MUMAYAZ (IRE)
