Formscan - Young Merlin puts his unbeaten record over hurdles on the line in this series final and Amy Murphy's charge shouldn't be far away off 4lb higher than last month's Cartmel success. Marginal preference, however, is for ALLIHIES, who relished the step up in trip when winning over C&D in July and Dan Skelton's four-year-old can defy a 6lb rise. Our Scholar seeks a five-timer and merits respect, while Sean Bowen taking the ride on Gaius over his stablemate En Avant should be noted too.
