        Verdict

        Myretown has won between the flags while Merrijig and Perculator looks the pick of those with experience under Rules. Rolling River is out of a Flat and hurdles winner but RAJJAMATAZ may have an even brighter future being a full brother to a winning hurdler and chaser. Brian's Jet, out of a Milan mare, is also worth a market check.
