      Verdict

      Luberon should be able to land this contest without breaking sweat, Merchant Bankes and Mytass can fight for the runners up spot. Mark Johnston's colt made the odds on favourite Call My Number fight all the way to the line at Beverley last time. That was his first outing and as with the majority of Johnston juveniles he should improve for the run. Merchant Bankes looks the best prospect for the forecast having shown promise behind Mr Rooney on his debut. He didn't really step up on that performance next time, but should still be better than Mytass who finished a modest fifth behind Grenane in a Catterick seller last time. The other two runners make very little appeal and so it looks an easy task for Luberon who should easily land the odds.
