Looks a wide open contest. MERCIAN (3) returned in fine fashion with a strong win over this track and trip and will take a bunch of confidence from that first-up victory. Winning hoop Thornton sticks and should get a cosy run from gate three. Likely to feature in the finish again. FLY FIFER (9) resumes here but the form she showed before the break was good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Revved up with a recent trial here and can run a big race while fresh. BANK BOOK (15) hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Bank Maur and Listed winner Namesake) and will be at peak fitness now. Looks one for the exotics. THE GAMBLING GREEK (4) should sit on speed and will give backers a sight.
