      Verdict

      A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but Storm Melody has been winning lower grade contests and may struggle against this better opposition. HERITAGE (NAP) is also raised in class but looks the more progressive having won with plenty to spare over track and trip last week. A penalty may not be enough to anchor Clive Cox’ filly in this and she’s preferred to Rose Berry. The latter ran well off a similar mark in Class 2 company at Chester recently while Miss Celestial represents last year’s winning yard and drops down in trip for only her second start of the year. Boom The Groom is a rare winner nowadays and slips further down the weights.
