Little form to go on with Meelup having the best form of those to have raced after a promising fifth in a similar heat at Sandown late last month. Richard Hannon's charge is sure to improve and gets a narrow TEAMtalk verdict over some interesting newcomers. Countess Guest, by top sire Spectrum and related to many winners, makes plenty of appeal along with well-connected Promising King and both should be noted in the market.
