Verdict

Bottom weight MELTING DEW represents leading connections here and can take this middle-distance handicap. The selection finished runner-up on his penultimate outing and he can put a poor run last time behind him by recording his first turf success in this. Top weight Mutadaffeq can take second as he bids to follow up his C&D success of last week while Bear Valley, who finished a closed third at Ascot last weekend can take third once more here.
