MELT should be there or thereabouts in this tight handicap, Another Try is worth a look on his handicap bow whilst Seneschal could also figure. The selection may be ideally suited by a mile but she was far from disgraced over seven when going down by half a length to Smokey Rye. She races from the same mark and looks sure to have a say in the outcome. Another Try represents a yard in fair form and he has shown enough in qualifying for a mark to be worthy of consideration with a top jockey booked for his handicap bow. Comrade Cotton has been performing consistently without suggesting that he was going to get his head in front in the near future and Seneschal could pose more problems. He made a creditable reappearance over a mile and should come on for that whilst he may well be seen in a better light back over this shorter trip and he's nicely handicapped. This is competitive but he should go well as should Melt who is selected.
