Verdict
MECADO just missed out over 7f at Kempton on his return to action. He won over today's shorter trip at Chepstow last year and has plenty in hand at the weights in this with Pearl Blue. The latter was rated much higher at this time last year but came up short in a claimer here back in January while Multi Quest has little chance on today's terms.
