      Verdict

      Kelvin Hall continues to find one too good and though her last two runs have been in slightly higher class they were both on ground with plenty of give. LOVE MARMALADE (NAP) has had 55 starts but only one in this lowly grade way back in 2013 which he won. A 2lb drop in the ratings enables him to get into this event and he can take advantage. Meddlesome hasn't shown much but the step up in trip could bring about major improvement while both Canny Style and Amy Blair are on on hat-tricks. The former has definitely improved in recent weeks though her victories have come on softer ground than she'll face here while the latter has never won beyond 1m1f, though she wasn't stopping when making all at Hamilton last month.
