        Verdict

        TIMELESS MELODY separated subsequent winners when runner-up for Godolphin at Kempton last term. She’s switched yards since and should go close if coping with the heavy ground. Frequent Flyer struggled in soft going on a trip over to Ireland last autumn having placed at Ffos Las earlier while Mexicali Rose returns to action having finished third at Newmarket on her debut and is preferred to Classic Speed. Get Off Me is related to winners and Torfrida represents last year’s winning yard.
