Several of these have been allotted a handicap mark and MERHOOB (NAP) has every chance on today's terms. It was soft ground when he finished second at Leicester recently and Marco Botti's charge gets the nod to go one better. Havre De Paix was still four lengths behind the winner when second in France last month while Feng Shui has his first start on Turf having placed in all three outings on the all-weather. Moon Eyes and Sea Of Green have both been thereabouts before but have plenty to find at the weights.
