      Verdict

      Mellys Flyer ran below par at Kempton bidding for a hat-trick of 6f victories and steps back up in trip. KING’S KNIGHT won at Lingfield at this time last year and went close in Bahrain back in January. He returned a beaten favourite at Kempton last month but gets another chance in this. Spirited Guest won three times last season but looks a shade high in the weights on his return and Dutch Decoy is hard to catch right.
