Verdict

ARCH MELODY has rocketed up in the ratings after two wins here in July, suddenly finding form that he'd never shown before. Things are getting tougher, but there may well be a bit more in the tank and the hat-trick beckons. My Manekineko flopped last time over hurdles at Sligo but could bounce back here. He was a close third behind The Granson at Tramore previously, with that winner given a chance to progress again having wandered around with the race at his mercy and just about held on last time. He should be capable of better still.
