Verdict

MELANAMIX was given a considerate introduction to chasing when a promising third on her chase bow at Ayr and she gets the vote with improvement forthcoming. Whitechurch was a good third at Ludlow 3 weeks ago despite seeming unsuited by the right-handed track so may do better again going the other way around, while Balranald looked suited by the switch to fences when scoring at Sedgefield.

  1. MELANAMIX (IRE)
