Verdict

Four times a winner on the all weather, MENELIK (NAP) was rated 7lb higher at the start of the year and posted a better effort off today's mark at Chelmsford last time. He can return to winning ways at the main expense of Irish raider Tithonus, second over 6f at Dundalk last time. Call Me Crockett won over 7f at Ayr last month but has since finished behind runner up Les Gar Gan in a seller while Mary Le Bow won over a longer trip here last year and should be sharper for a recent comeback run.
