Turners Of Soham Handicap Stakes

Consistent without a win in recent starts, Merrimack brings solid placed form — third last time out, and a runner-up two starts back — and he has run over today's trip and going before; the five-day turnaround looks sharp enough, and our rating of 74 makes him an appealing proposition at 139 lb from stall six.

Silky Robin arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making him a serious threat here; the main concern is whether 40 days off has left him short of peak fitness.

Tuscan Point arrives here on a quick 15-day turnaround with experience of today's trip and conditions, and his second and win in recent starts demonstrate he can find the frame; the worry is he's shown inconsistency since, and that run of modest finishes will need reversing under 137 lb.

Sound And Vision arrives here fresh off a promising third last time out, and she was a winner three starts back, bringing winning form into this contest. She has experience over today's trip and going, but her fifth two starts back is the chief concern.

Dottie Diamond arrives on the back of three consecutive wins and is fit from just 11 days ago, with experience of today's trip and conditions — genuine positives. However, she ranks fifth of six on our figures, making her hard to fancy against stronger-rated rivals.
