Verdict

STORM MELODY (NAP) has slipped to a lenient mark and was in the process of running a better race here last month when badly hampered. He’s got a nice draw today and could offer up some value in an open-looking sprint. Alba Del Sole is 10lb higher than when scoring at Leicester last month and has been struggling to make an impact since but there are possibilities about Who Told Jo Jo and Something Lucky while Waseem Faris and Essaka have been standing dishes here down the years.
