Forecasts

Dr Sanderson (6/5), Lermoos Legend (9/2), Check My Pulse (13/2), Melvich Bay (17/2), Thank You Blue (10/1), Post No Bills (11/1), Minella Youngy (12/1), Cuzco Du Mathan (20/1), Gouet Des Bruyeres (40/1), Tonto's Spirit (50/1)

Verdict

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).
