Verdict

Another modest race in which few can be seriously fancied despite the size of the field and the vote goes to Nellie Melba while Zyzania and Pop Up Again rate the main dangers. The selection had been struggling to get home over a mile but showed her appreciation for the step back to this trip when a promising runner-up in a competitive handicap at Doncaster late last month. The daughter of Hurricane Sky confirmed the merit of the form when duly improving a place at Leicester next time and is fancied to repeat the feat off a 5lb higher mark. Zyzania landed a Wolverhampton maiden earlier in the year but that was a weak affair and she faces no easy task under top weight following a near six-month absence. Pop Up Again is a lightly raced maiden who showed some ability last time and could prove capable of further progress but the percentage call is to stick with the proven form of Nellie Melba under regular rider, Dean McKeown.
