        Verdict

        Doctor Parkes wasn’t beaten that far when fourth over track and trip just three days ago ahead of Great Expectations. But the three-year-old STORM MELODY has more scope and gets the vote racing off the same mark as when third at Leicester over three lengths ahead of the rest. Bush Warrior won on the Polytrack here in February but has not raced since April while Summersault is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Windsor in May and first-time blinkers are applied today.
