Formscan  - MERCI MAM won his sole start in France before changing hands for 520,000 euros at the Arqana sales in November. With expectations likely to be high, this half-brother to the smart Instit is hard to ignore debuting for Dan Skelton at this level. Aqua Bleu didn't beat much in either of his hurdle wins at Doncaster and Lingfield, but he did it impressively and must also be taken seriously. Mwabani is the clear pick of the rest.
