Verdict

Kevin Ryan has won the last two so Mercury, who is related to a host of winners, has to be respected on his debut. Third Time Lucky made a promising start when favourite at Newcastle and like Hamilton runner-up Gurkha Friend and the progressive Fingal's Cave will know much more here and has to be respected. Toocoolforschool will need to do better than he showed at Nottingham and in a tricky race the vote goes to VALLEY OF FIRE. He has a pedigree full of pace being a half-brother to five juvenile winners and out of a mare who won over the minimum trip as a two-year-old. Must Have is a newcomer to note in the betting.
