Verdict

This could go to MELGATE MELODY, who seems to be improving and has already proven his liking for this surface with a victory at Newcastle when last seen in November. Provided he doesn't need the run on his first start of the year he could prove the best option off what looks to be a fair mark. Sublimation may have needed the run last time when disappointing over C&D, and should strip much fitter today, while Scruffy Mcguffy has clearly has his problems but also showed he does have plenty of ability with two victories last summer.
  1. Melgate Melody
  2. Sublimation
  3. Scruffy Mcguffy
