Verdict

MERRY JEWEL (9) continued her good form when second last start at this circuit and distance, beaten 2.7 metres. That was her fourth top-three finish on the trot inclusion a win here two back. If things go her way from the second line she can return to the winners' stall. ENGLISH DANCE (10) did a good job to come from a wide barrier for fourth last start at this venue. With even luck from the second line he could pose a serious challenge. BE GOOD MIKI (7) draws deep but is on the radar after performing well in his last-start fourth here. EPIC ERNIE (6) has been thereabouts of late, beaten only 3m last week. Go well.
