Verdict
MELLIFICENT was unlucky in-running in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen back in February and she doesn’t have much to beat making her debut over timber. Tom Cody has won five times between the flags but three runs under Rules have yielded just one place in a maiden hunter chase and none of the others make much appeal on what they’ve shown so far.
