TABORCILLO came good on his return to the track and is taken to score again at the expense of Fillibeg and Mercers Row. The selection won well at Catterick on his seasonal reappearance and looks a horse with a bright future. He has been raised six pounds for his troubles but with further improvement to come he will be difficult to beat. Fillibeg has her first run in a handicap after showing some promise in three maidens. She runs off a mark of 64 on her handicap debut and the market maybe the best guide to her chances. Mercers Row has performed with credit in the past and ran well enough on his return but it does look as though the handicapper has him where he wants him for the time being. Taborcillo is the pick on paper and gets the vote.
