Verdict

Not an easy puzzle to solve despite the small field. MELODIES disappointed at Nottingham in May, but the ground is a legitimate excuse for that, and she had promised plenty in three runs last year. She gets a narrow vote ahead of Culdrose, who is gradually progressive, and Litigation, who probably found the run coming too soon last time after a good second at Sandown.
