Verdict

MESHARDAL may be worth siding with and will enjoy the faster ground he's likely to get here as well as the assistance of Connor Murtagh in the saddle. Cool Bahamian warrants plenty of respect and has two course and distance wins to his name while Clear Spring was only just beaten here earlier in the month.
