The progressive MERCHANT did remarkably well to win from an unpromising position at Wolverhampton in December and is thoroughly unexposed over this longer trip back on turf. He's preferred to Lightening Mann who travelled powerfully when third at Beverley last time and despite finding less than looked likely, he's worth another chance. Best of the rest may be Watching Stars who shaped well on reappearance at this course last month and should find this stiffer test much more to his liking.
