Merchant Of Medici won a qualifying race in this series last month but is drawn out with the washing today. He had Shamir back in sixth and Greyfriarschorista well beaten last time but fifth-placed DUKES ART is interesting. Beaten three lengths on that occasion, he's 2lb lower today, has a decent draw and is fancied to reverse the form and take this. Aciano will find this tougher than the race he won at Doncaster last time and Leicester winner Mountrath has a bit to prove off his current mark after a poor effort at York recently. Starclass could prove best of the rest.
