MERRIMACK made a bold bid from the front over 6f here last time and makes plenty of appeal back over the minimum trip. In-form pair Speed Of Maajid and Mumayaz both need to break better but could be the beneficiaries if the pace is overly strong, with General Assembly another to consider with sights lowered.

About The Selections

Dave Nevison

Merrimack Seems sure to be in the thick of the action from the outset and dropping to the minimum trip should suit

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Merrimack might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Mumayaz usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Diamond Dreamer traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
