In depth
Verdict
Redcar winner Mecca's Team should finish closer after last month's reappearance run but BOUCHER GARCON is likely to prove too strong. He landed a double last month, including a win over C&D, and his latest second in a tougher handicap at Ripon suggested Declan Carroll's charge is up to winning again off his current mark. Mercers Row and Sandwith are both weighted to reverse earlier form with the selection but are fairly exposed and Greenhead High may prove a bigger threat after a better effort at Catterick last time.
