Mercers Court has taken well to fences and is on a four-timer. He beat a subsequent hurdles winner on his latest start at Fakenham and stepping up again in trip won’t be as much of a problem as a further 7lb weight rise. He's preferred to runaway Wincanton winner I'm In Charge, who has been raised a massive15lb. Monkey Kingdom is not easy to predict and has been raised 3lb since his third here last month but Call Me Vic is interesting after a pipe-opener at Kempton. He beat Henllan Harri at Southwell last year but was earlier only second to BELMOUNT at Ludlow. The latter is now 3lb better off if you take into account Ryan Hatch's claim and he's come up against well-handicapped rivals in his last two starts.
