Verdict

DON'T GIVE UP (1) is racing well and comes back a notch for this after finishing runner-up in a BM72 latest. Aided by the claim and should be winding up strongly. MERLIN BEACH (3) recorded an overdue win last time after a string of minors. Placed both tries this trip and is certain to be hard to beat again. TIDEFORD (5) was safely held in the same race as Don't Give Up in an effort well off best. Back a notch and expected to be in this for a long way. HAPPY CLAN (2) has had a string of placings and was third in the same race as Don't Give Up. Genuine performer who can break through. RESERVOIR DOG (8) is a rough each-way hope.
