Verdict
The absence of Gelino Bello leaves the way clear for JERRASH. The latter is penalised for an earlier win at Ascot having subsequently ran well in Listed company and makes more appeal than stablemate Make My Day back at this level. Merchant In Milan has yet to figure in eight starts over hurdles.
