Verdict

With the promise of better to come from YOUNG MERLIN, he is taken to preserve his unbeaten record over hurdles. The 7-y-o appeared to have more in hand than the margin of victory would imply at Cartmel last time and a subsequent 4 lb rise is by no means harsh. Our Scholar and En Avant both appear to be on upward curves and are feared most in that order of preference, while Painless Potter is also shortlisted.

  1. YOUNG MERLIN (IRE)
