MERCANTILE was the only one to threaten the winner on his Southwell debut 24 days ago despite running green and is open to further improvement, making him the selection here. Sea Brave has been runner-up twice including over C&D a fortnight ago and can strip fitter for that reappearance, whilst Venetian Sky has plenty of experience under her belt for top connections so should figure.
