Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMerrimack and Sound And Vision head this six-runner sprint on equal terms at the top of the ratings, but it is Merrimack who earns the nod on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come. Sound And Vision represents the most obvious threat, with Tuscan Point and Silky Robin both capable of making their presence felt on this quick Newmarket ground. **Merrimack** is our selection, though the closeness of the field tempers expectations slightly.
