In depth
Verdict
This looks at the mercy of TRIPLE DIP, who hasn't run since a gallant attempt to make all in a Newmarket nursery in November, form that easily surpasses anything shown by her rivals. Mercy Me started 50/1 and was beaten a distance when last on her debut at Nottingham in October; Sarafina finished last on her debut, and almost last in her two subsequent starts, and Too Kay was a 100/1 chance when tailed off last on her opening run here earlier this month.
