Formscan  - YOUNG MERLIN was rated as high as 78 in his pomp and made a pleasing debut for the Rebecca Menzies stable when runner-up off this mark of 60 at Musselburgh in July. A change of scenery might be just what the nine-year-old needed and, with the talented Elizabeth Gale taking 5lb off his back, he is fancied to play a leading role. Dereham has been running consistently well this year and should give another good account, while Captain Potter has every chance.
