CARDSHARP's experience could give him an advantage over plenty in this field and he's already shown a high level of form. Wesley Ward's runners have to respected at this meeting with two winners on the board already and the American trainer won this with No Nay Never back in 2013. His runner Mcerin was a beaten favourite last time out but he wasn't disgraced and not impossible he'll prove even better on turf. Nine Below Zero holds each-way claims after winning both his starts to date while Santry and Havana Grey look best of the rest.
