Verdict

The way ROCK MELODY finished off for third in a big field at Ayr on Monday suggests she still has some mileage in her mark and she can resume winning ways. Khunan took a big step back in the right direction at Haydock recently and is second choice ahead of the thriving Paws For Thought and Illusionist, who was close up in fourth in behind the selection at Ayr on Monday.
