Mercy Me just missed out at Lingfield last time having won at Yarmouth before that. She’s now 5lb higher than that success while Blushes has been raised 3lb after scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago. The betting suggested TENEREZZA would show a big improvement at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut and she wasn’t beaten far in third. David Lanigan’s filly should make another bold bid and is preferred to Aurora Gray, who steps back up in distance after going close at Ffos Las. Pivotal Flame won over 1m2f at Bath earlier and could also go well.
