Verdict
Company Asset steps back up in trip after another placed effort at York and is proving hard to win with. Both Dark Crystal and Forever A Lady have fallen victim to the progressive Titi Makfi on separate occasions here this month while Souls In The Wind won a maiden over 6f at the track last time. But PEACH MELBA is the least exposed and, having gone close in all three starts in maiden company, she gets the nod to come good now handicapping for the first time with the longer trip likely to suit.
