Verdict

Jukebox Melody won bumpers at Market Rasen and Musselburgh before his hurdling debut at Kelso last month where he pulled very hard and ran so wide at the third bend that Graham Lee had to pull him up. He may be best watched for now and LUCKY SUNNY looks the one to be on. Richard Phillips' charge has been well supported on several occasions including over today's C&D last month where he found only Bunclody too strong. Drying ground would be a help and his overall form looks too strong for the likes of Next To Nowhere and Andreo Bambaleo. Alleged Vanity showed a little promise on his debut in a Catterick bumper and should make further progress.
