Mervue Equine Handicap

En Or ranks second in the field on our figures with a leading speed figure to match, giving him solid claims on ability; the query is recent form, nothing better than seventh in his last five starts, plus a 43-day absence since his latest run.

Daler won two starts back and confirmed that form with a close second last time out, making him the one to beat here on our figures; the only query is finding the same level again after a quieter spell earlier in the sequence.

Unterberg strung together three wins in a row earlier in his recent form, form that gives him a leading claim in this race; the concern is a sharp dip since, culminating in an eighth last time out, a marked fall from that purple patch.

Marmeladova has been on an upward curve - a win four starts back, then successive placed efforts of fourth, third and second - and a rapid nine-day turnaround keeps her fighting fit; the query is finding the extra to convert those places into victory here.

Neo Smart won five starts back but form dipped sharply after that, with a ninth and back-to-back sevenths in between; last time's fourth suggests she may be finding some of that spark again, and a 20-day gap should keep her fresh.
