Verdict

Verreaux Eagle has failed to build on an earlier nose defeat at Brighton despite returning to a winning mark and ROCK MELODY is preferred. The latter has competed in a higher grade than this in both starts in handicaps so far and should find life easier in this moderate company. Cygneture is another open to improvement with an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause but the remainder are struggling for form.
