JUKEBOX MELODY came right back to form at Sedgefield last time and, despite a 7lb higher mark, remains well treated. If in the same mood, he should take all the beating here.

Mubrook was second at Uttoxeter last month while Deportation, Northern Acres, Mrs Grass and Innocent Girl are others who have been placed recently.
