Verdict

MELANAMIX was given a considerate introduction to chasing when a promising third on her chase bow at Ayr and she gets the vote with improvement forthcoming. Whitechurch was a good third at Ludlow 3 weeks ago despite seeming unsuited by the right-handed track so may do better again going the other way around, while Balranald looked suited by the switch to fences when scoring at Sedgefield.

  1. MELANAMIX (IRE)
  2. WHITECHURCH (IRE)
  3. BALRANALD (FR)
