Foxtrix is unexposed and tried in cheekpieces after her third at Carlisle. Se You hasn’t fulfilled early potential but this is a weak race, though Etienne Gerard went close back at Beverley last time. Ad Vitam only won a seller at Thirsk but Meandmyshadow only gave best close home at Catterick last week. MELANIEMILLIE is just a hopeful choice but is back on a winning mark and hasn’t run badly the last twice, despite finishing out of the frame - she’s the type with which Ruth Carr excels. Gaelic Wizard won this last year when 2lb higher so can’t be ignored.
