Verdict

Just 3lb separates this entire field of maidens in which PEACH MELBA is a tentative choice. She was a beaten favourite last time in handicap company but didn't run too badly and looks likely to appreciate dropping back to 7f. Also she has been running on soft ground of late and could well relish forecast quicker conditions as she ran arguably her best race to date on debut when only going down in a photo to the potentially useful Moonwise on good to firm. Accento is open to progress now the Hugo Palmer yard is rolling again, whilst a case can be argued for the remainder, of which Nibras Again and Wonder Of Dubai make most appeal in a trappy contest.
