Verdict

METAL MERCHANT served warning that he's ready to strike when coming fourth down in grade at Newcastle last time and his stable's relentless good form this summer means he's well worth chancing to get the better of the rock-solid Chalk Mountain. Kiniro and Kitaro Kich are also appealing back on all-weather.

  1. METAL MERCHANT (IRE)
  2. CHALK MOUNTAIN
  3. KINIRO
