Verdict

Not a race to be dogmatic about as most have struggled over fences but Mersey Beat may be capable of defying top weight. Gary Moore's charge was a useful hurdler at his best and is well treated here in comparison although he is not the safest of conveyances. O J Selym disappointed last time but is fairly unexposed and is open to further improvement but Stonehenge and Mill Lord both appear to have something to find on recent efforts.
