FORTUNES MELODY is making her debut for Harry Fry but had some smart form in France when trained by David Cottin and should be much too good for these. Glasha's Peak placed at Fontwell on her first outing for Philip Hobbs but may need more time. A similar comment may apply to winning pointer Rock On Rita with Flat winner Wilderness more interesting having arrived at Seamus Mullins’ yard.
