Formscan - MERRIMACK remains relatively unexposed on the all-weather and with Sean Levey booked again in the saddle, he looks the one to be with after a promising second at Chelmsford. Placed on each of his last two starts over C&D, Big R appears to be a key threat, as is Grenham Bay, who has dropped to a mark 4lb lower than his last success, which came over C&D in March. Completing the shortlist are Shalaa Asker and Zu Run.
