Verdict

RABY MERE looks capable of even better and is taken to defy the handicapper again. Palm Beach is a potentially dangerous opponent if a switch to the Ben Pauling yard helps to spark a revival. Top Flight Century shaped quite well on his 2m course handicap debut last month and also makes the shortlist.

2	Made it 2-3 for current yard when accounting for 8 rivals at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) 19 days ago. Looks capable of better so a further 7 lb rise may not stop him for a leading yard which does well here. 1st Pick 2 Raby Mere (Fr) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	94	-	-	-	34%
