The Sea The Stars colt and 240,000gns purchase Melfit makes his racecourse debut for the Hannon yard but MYSTIC BLAZE is preferred. The latter was placed at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and Andrew Balding sent out a maiden winner here on Tuesday. Regal Monarch ran well enough over 7f on this surface on his recent introduction while Prospectus is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Ravens Quest and Rubis looks another likely improver if taking to the Fibresand.
