A lightly-raced, improving stayer on the Flat, MELON has essentially continued that theme over timber, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when fending off re-opposing Narragansett in a Wetherby juvenile in January. He looks sure to do better still now handicapping and is selected to come out on top. Lucky Bere and aforementioned Narragansett are others fancied to feature. Risk It All is also worth a look.
