9/4
Solid start for this yard when reaching the frame in big-field 5f handicaps at Musselburgh last month, nearest at the finish both times. Can come good now returning to 6f.

7/2
Three-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second (Rock Melody fourth) on Musselburgh reappearance and lost his chance with a slow start at Wetherby since. Capable of bouncing back if breaking on terms.

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. First run for 6 months and watching brief is the percentage call.

5/2
C&D winner who added to tally on reappearance at Doncaster (5f, heavy) in April. Creditable second of 12 over 6f there since. Likely to give another good account.

Forecasts

Rock Melody (9/4), Little Muddy (5/2), Black Friday (7/2), Gannon Glory (4/1), Be Proud (12/1)

Verdict

The way in which ROCK MELODY has finished off to really good effect in a couple of 5f Musselburgh handicaps suggests she can get her head in front now stepping back up to 6f. Black Friday was ahead of the selection in second in one of those races and is feared most.

  1. Rock Melody9/4
  2. Black Friday7/2
  3. Little Muddy5/2
