Verdict
Plenty of recent winners on show though Magical Merlin is penalised for winning on fast ground at Lingfield and it was soft going when Prospering scored at Ascot. Barney's Bay won a lower grade sprint over track and trip recently and Blazing Son has completed a double on Tapeta but it could be the turn of MONSIEUR KODI today. He’s been competing in tougher sprints than this since scoring at Musselburgh in April and may improve further back over this extra furlong.
