Formwatch
Mercato (FR) comes here in good form following wins at Fontwell and over this course. With Tony McCoy booked for the ride he will be a popular selection with many to complete the hat-trick. With Mary Reveley's team continuing to disappoint Highbank may not represent great value and a better alternative to the favourite could be the lightly raced Sharp Belline.
