Verdict

A few in with a squeak but MERRIJIG is a progressive stayer and having returned from 6 months off with a really likeable effort on all-weather debut over C&D last month, John Berry's lightly-raced 6-y-o gets the vote to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Star Legend, who was narrowly behind the selection in third last time. Placated and Buxted Too can do battle for minor honours.

  1. MERRIJIG
