Verdict

Lucy Normile has booked Megan Carberry again for the prolific Remember Rocky and her 5lb claim could prove decisive. He was chasing a hat-trick in the 4.20 here yesterday but would arrive here with a penalty if successful so the result should be monitored. However, MERCHANT OF MEDICI (NAP) may spoil the party under Joe Doyle as he's been mainly consistent in better class handicaps than this recently and it's about time his fortunes changed. Magnolia Ridge started the Turf season in winning form at Doncaster but has been beaten in 11 subsequent starts so has dropped to a lowly mark. The veteran Dhaular Dhar showed at Catterick last time that there's still a race to be won with him but it's a very long time since Royal Straight troubled the judge and he's probably still a few pounds high. Triple Eight bounced back to form over 1m6f at Catterick on Saturday when chasing home Midnight Warrior and in that kind of mood would be a threat to all.
