There was sufficient promise in MERRICOURT's recent performance at Newcastle to suggest that he could be the way to go, back at the scence of his latest success. First Response needs taking seriously back on turf off an attractive mark, while Ayr Poet was largely progressive in 2020 and will be a threat if ready to roll on this seasonal reappearance.
