        Verdict

        Turbo Command has proven best on the all-weather so far and won again at Southwell last month. Merricourt posted a better effort at Musselburgh last week having earlier finished behind stablemate and runner-up NOVAK over track and trip and the latter can return to winning ways in this lower grade. Oriental Lilly is preferred to stable companion Rory over today’s trip while Stalingrad has yet to win in 20 attempts.
