RACING POST VERDICT

In this Class 6 seven-furlong contest at Catterick on good to firm, we're siding with Kings Merchant, preferred over the narrowly higher-rated Vince Le Prince on a more progressive profile. Rated 71, level with Gressington and just a pound behind Vince Le Prince's 72, Kings Merchant sits at the sharp end of a well-matched eight-runner field. Vince Le Prince, Gressington and Wise Crack all loom as dangers on our figures, but the profile case is strong enough for Kings Merchant to be our selection with high confidence.

Kings Merchant
Our Expert Tip

Vega Storm is the unexposed type and was given far too much to so on handicap debut and was the only one in the field that day doing anything from off the pace - I\'d like to think with enough pace on if he\'s handy he will go very close here today.
