Huff’n’puff heads this competitive staying contest at Listowel on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Count Bezukhov and Bay of Stars, who both represent genuine threats over the fourteen-furlong trip and could realistically reverse the ratings if conditions suit. Mergus Serrator also warrants respect as the pick of the remainder, sitting just a couple of pounds below the principals and capable of making this a wide-open affair. The selection’s edge is slender and the confidence modest, but on the figures as they stand Huff’n’puff gets the nod.
