Jennys Melody ran her best race so far over hurdles over 2m4f here last month when beaten less than two lengths by Hester Flemen with Syddan Rose a remote third. She gets 12lb from WHATDOESTHEFOXSAY but Donald McCain has put up a competent 7lb claimer on his mare, who won twice in the autumn. The latter's victory at Worcester in October has worked out well and she can make a winning return.
