Verdict

Shallow Hal has run four times over this trip and has yet to place. Merricourt has won over course and distance off a higher mark, however, though was behind Rory at Musselburgh last month. MONHAMMER beat only one home in that contest but wasted a lot of energy getting to the front from an outside draw. He was back to his best at that track last time and also has winning form around here. Cassy O could also feature while the three-year-olds Highfield Viking and Rwenearlytheredad can’t be left out of calculations.
