Verdict

YOUNG MERLIN impressed when making a successful hurdling debut over C&D last month and looks up to defying a penalty with improvement on the cards. Lucky Star again shaped well in almost getting there from the very back of the field in a Market Rasen handicap on her most recent outing and rates the main threat ahead of Ve Day.

  1. YOUNG MERLIN (IRE)
