Forecasts

Too Many Diamonds (11/4), Global Domination (11/4), St Merryn (9/2), Shaiyzar (9/1), Little Jimmy (10/1), Mondo Cane (10/1), Darloa (22/1), Lost In Newyork (25/1), Pierlow (33/1), Next Exit (66/1)

Verdict

A moderate contest for the money and anything with an ounce of improvement left to come needs taking seriously. With that, it's worth giving ST MERRYN a try as he shaped like he'd got more to come when third at Exeter last time. This step up in trip is likely to be beneficial and he can take this. Darloa has plenty of risk attached but went better on his chase debut and wouldn't need a lot more to be competitive here. Old Mondo Cane and Shaylzar find winning hard but can fight out third prize.
  1. St Merryn
  2. Darloa
  3. Shaiyzar
