Lots of these have question marks against them, so it's worth siding with the lightly-raced MR MELDA to build on his recent Chepstow fourth now he goes into handicaps and open his account. C&D winner Effet Special is weighted to have a big say if freshened up after a break. Veteran The Herds Garden appeals as the pick of the remainder.
