Verdict
LORD MELBOURNE will have benefitted from a recent debut third at Salisbury behind the unbeaten Al Anoud. He can improve past It's Marvellous and Eastern Empress and open his account. The latter’s stablemate Enrico Caruso is related to five winners and the Gosden yard has won three of the last four renewals while Indemnity is a 200,000gns brother to a winner.
