Verdict
MERCY ME had little chance in Listed company last time but was beaten only a length in this grade at Chelmsford before that. She may edge this contest given Footlight is attempting 1m2f for the first time and Solveig's Song remains as unreliable as ever. Heads You Win and Two In The Pink have both placed in lower grade contests recently while Owners Day has been winning over hurdles and can reverse earlier running at Brighton with Solveig's Song on these better terms.
