Irish Melody didn't perform as well as expected in a Bath nursery last time and blinkers are applied here. He has the highest rating of these but dropping back to 6f might suit John Quinn's filly LONDON GRAMMAR, who gets the vote in a first-time visor. She has nothing to fear from Amy Gardner on collateral form and may prove too good for southern raider Bismarck The Flyer, though Shadow Wing is eased in grade and could be a danger.
