Verdict

Melachrist looks to have an excellent chance here and is confidently taken to score, with Speed Dial Harry given as the one to chase him home. The selection has looked decent in his four runs so far, not least when beating Imperial Sound at Beverley last time. He looks to be the one to beat, although he has to concede six pounds to Speed Dial Harry, whose second to the useful Beckermet three runs ago reads as decent form. Of the others, Invertiel and Hansomelle have shown some promise but they will be doing well to get near the selection, Melachrist.
