Petrify could do exactly that to the bookmakers if Luca Cumani's handicap debutant can win off a mark of 60, and as he is out of an Indian Ridge dam, he won't be troubled by any of the anticipated rain. Progenitor has been a prolific scorer on Polytrack, and the Kempton winner has a first run on turf since taking part in a juvenile maiden at Newmarket. DAME NELLIE MELBA is likely to have a career in the breeding paddocks in the future so Mark Johnston's filly is taken to acquire a vital win. She showed plenty of promise in a Doncaster maiden and went on to confirm that impression with a solid third behind a pair of experienced handicappers at Beverley. Marlborough House beat just one home at Nottingham despite being backed off the boards, and James Given has quickly reached for the blinkers.
