Formscan By Tom Weekes - Nine-year-old OCEAN OF MERCY has raced just seven times but showed some of his old ability on a first run for 956 days back in May. A useful type in 2021/22, his career has been blighted by setbacks and while now absent for 74 days, could be suited by stepping up to this distance. Vroomvroomboo has reasonable recent handicap form while Welsh point-to-point winner Sharing Is Caring showed ability at Stratford last month. Saint Peregrine disappointed wearing cheekpieces at Kilbeggan in July and while also beaten 18 lengths by the selection in May, has claims on best form and steps up in distance today.
