KINGS MERCHANT (5) turned in a reasonable run when returning from a break last start over 1020m at Wolverhampton, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh. Form at this circuit is impressive with two wins from three starts. Callum Rodriguez who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. MEDIA SHOOTER (1) is back at the races for the first time since August 9. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Lingfield All Weather. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MAKANAH (4) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1000m at Newcastle All Weather. Has never been out of the money in three starts here including a win. Can make his presence felt. SECRET GUEST (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Newcastle All Weather, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
