        Verdict

        A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Merrydown, Karabak and Michigan Assassin and the narrow vote is given to Merrydown. The selection won well last time out when beating Eyre Square despite running green and although having a penalty for that win he looks sure to improve and looks the one to be on. Karabak rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this Kahyasi gelding, half-brother to winning hurdler Mossville, will not have to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Michigan Assassin has shaped with promise in three starts to date but he is bred to be suited by further and is taken on with this in mind. Alderley Rover is a Beneficial gelding out of an unraced mare and is another to note in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Merrydown.
