      Verdict

      Mellys Flyer carries 6lb extra for last week’s victory at Epsom while Almost An Angel has been raised the same amount after winning under today’s apprentice at Chepstow. Atty's Edge has something to prove over this far having scored over 6f at Chepstow last month but it could be the turn of HANDYTALK (NAP) today. The latter drops back down in class after placing at Epsom a fortnight ago and can go one better racing off the same mark today.
