Verdict

This may be too tough for Wednesday's narrow Folkestone winner National Hope under a penalty, while Cape Melody appears to have gone off the boil lately. Lucky Meadows hasn't been seen since winning a Polytrack maiden in March but Song Of The Siren could be interesting in a first-time visor and Mrs Greeley certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Yarmouth last month. SWIFT BREEZE was made favourite on her reappearance at Kempton after winning her maiden on the same track in December. She missed the break and was then forced wide into the straight so never figured but William Haggas' filly is almost certainly capable of improvement and can make amends here.
