      Verdict

      Zephyr's latest third here behind a couple of previous winners was a better effort and Fennann unseated his rider in that contest having refused to settle. But we fancy MERCOEUR to have his measure as Warren Greatrex's grey was placed a couple of times in France at the start of the summer for Robert Chotard and has been found a decent opportunity following a break. The Wallace Line should have learned something from his fourth at Perth and looks the pick of the remainder.
