Verdict

MELBURNIAN made a promising stable debut when runner-up at Hexham in June and is worth forgiving her next run only 15 days later. The 7-y-o arrives fit from a spell on the Flat and could be well handicapped based on her fairly useful form on the level, so she can get off the mark over hurdles this time around. Cuban Cigar is feared most, ahead of Redwood Queen.

  1. MELBURNIAN (FR)
  2. CUBAN CIGAR
  3. REDWOOD QUEEN (IRE)
