    Verdict

    Mercurial gave the impression he needed a stiffer track when just getting up at Chester and will get it here. The Gatekeeper led for a long way over 6f on good to soft at Newbury though his earlier runs were on quicker going. Tipperary Sunset had a length to spare over Ryan's Party at Hamilton and the latter is 4lb better off so there's unlikely to be much between them here. Robjon made a winning start on fast going at Brighton and though no match for the winner under a penalty over 6f at York shouldn't be inconvenienced by dropping back in trip or the testing conditions. STRAITS OF MOYLE is the only newcomer and gets allowances from the winners. He was purchased for 105,000gns at last month's Breeze-Up so must have impressed and can make a successful debut.
