MAGIC MERLIN looks good enough to land this seller at the expense of Lady Florence and Blinded Bythelight. The selection ran back to his best after finishing second in a seller at Plumpton last time out. His last win came this time last year off a three pound higher mark so if can reproduce his recent form he is sure to be in the shake up once again. Lady Florence was in the process of running a decent race before unseating her rider at Fakenham last time out. She looks fairly treated on her best form and with luck in running she can enter the frame once again. Blinded Bythelight is dropped into a seller for the first time having caught the eye at Warwick last time out. Although he had no chance with the winner that day he stayed on well to finish second and now dropped in grade he warrants respect. Magic Merlin comes into the race in good order and is fairly treated and looks the percentage call.
