MELVICH BAY improved on anything she had achieved over hurdles when running out a good winner of a C&D handicap chase 32 days ago and she could well be up to defying a 6 lb rise for all this rates tougher. Minella Youngy and Post No Bills are others to consider, as is Dr Sanderson if lining up (respectable fourth here Friday).
