Mike De Kock's runners have been a bit hit and miss and most have needed their opening runs. That certainly applies to LIQUID MERCURY (NAP), a Grade 3 winner over 1m4f at Kenilworth last summer, who was never in the hunt over a mile on his debut here last month and will be much more at home over this trip. Quarterback made most until headed close home over the track and trip three weeks ago and will be difficult to catch with that under his belt while Code Of Honour, beaten a short-head in the 2013 Cambridgeshire, was having his first start since 2014 when mid-division here last month and will strip much fitter. Pilote has never won here and has had plenty of chances while Mujaarib was beaten a long way on his only start over this trip.
