          Verdict

          MELGATE MAJEURE ended a long losing run with last week’s victory at Newcastle. He can go close again with an apprentice’s allowance negating most of a 6lb rise and today’s opposition inspiring little confidence. Violet's Lads was another ending a barren spell when scoring over a mile here while The Bull finished in front of Narjes when fourth over track and trip but his only win so far came back in 2018. Butterfield’s earlier wins at Wolverhampton were over longer distances but Music Major is back on a winning mark.
