In depth
Verdict
Moon Melody was in good form prior to pulling up at Wetherby last time. Mardood has been below par so far this season but is well handicapped now as a result and fitted with a visor for the first time today. Miss Tarantella finished second off this mark on her latest start at Newcastle and Zero Six Zoo's recent C&D fourth was his best effort so far over hurdles. But this better ground will suit I'M YOUR MAN and Evelyn Slack's 12-year-old, only a pound higher than when successful over C&D last season, is taken to regain the winning thread.
