Formscan - Mercurius Power is well capable at this level and is a must for the shortlist, as is the consistent Imola, who brings winning C&D form to the table. However, preference is for DREAM ILLUSION, who would have won by even further if getting a clear run at Newcastle 11 days ago and she's performed well at this track before too.
