In depth
Verdict
GOLDEN MELODY finished third in a more competitive contest at Nottingham on her reappearance and Tim Easterby’s filly should be in the mix again. Lasting Legacy won on the all-weather before contesting a Listed race and can do better back at this level while Nordhalla bids for a hat-trick upped in class having won at Chepstow last time. Thunder Queen returns to a shorter trip with a shout while Alpha Cru and Crown Princess are not without claims.
