Mr Melda was engaged here yesterday and No Quarter Asked is a non-runner. Despite an odds-on defeat at Huntingdon last month, MALIBOO has been steadily improving and she can recoup losses today. Newcastle winner Broadway Joe has also improved since the turn of the year and Lightonthewing travels up from Devon with decent hopes of adding to a victory at Wincanton in February. Melanamix and Pitempton Power have shown signs of ability without so far managing to get their heads in front.
