Verdict

MELABI is by no means a frequent winner, but he only just failed to get up at Beverley last time, and has never been so low in the weights. He's clearly capable of ending a barren run, and gets the nod over C&D winner Albert Boy, who will strip fitter for a recent run at Doncaster. Life Knowledge hasn't shown much for a while, but his new yard has been getting good results from similar types, and he's worth bearing in mind on his second run back from a break.
  1. Melabi
  2. Albert Boy
