      Verdict

      This looks wide open but Merricourt twice had a rear view of the hat-trick seeking Ahamoment last month. Sparkle In His Eye is only 2lb higher than when winning this last year and likes it here. He was a place ahead of MONHAMMER over course and distance 10 days ago but the latter had to wait for a gap to appear and can take his revenge. Gunnerside is certainly not out of this and the drop back to 7f will suit Rory but One Of Our Own is heading in the opposite direction having done most of her racing over 6f.
