Metal Merchant
Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise.

From the connections
“I was quietly confident Metal Merchant would run a nice race but in these big handicaps you can be on the wrong side and all sorts, but that was a very smart performance. He was a decent 2yo and 3yo but it wasn't until we gelded him that he really flourished. He's going to be a nice horse to go for those big mile handicaps - Jack Channon, trainer.”
“Metal Merchant deserved that. He's a tough horse who has been at the top of his handicap mark all season. He loves his racing and takes it well but there might not be anything else for him this season. He'll be gelded over the winter and should be a nice horse for those big handicaps next season - Jack Channon, trainer.”
