      Verdict

      Mellys Flyer made all on both occasions when landing a double over track and trip and has the beating of Enduring on collateral form. Night Narcissus won easily at Wolverhampton and an apprentice’s allowance negates most of 6lb rise but AROUSING gets another chance. The Haggas filly has been competing over longer trips since winning at Lingfield last summer and was narrowly beaten in a conditions' race on a recent reappearance. Ooh Is It’s earlier success came over the minimum trip and Many A Star steps up in distance while Nubough is upped in class.
