Verdict
JUKEBOX MELODY came right back to form at Sedgefield last time and, despite a 7lb higher mark, remains well treated. If in the same mood, he should take all the beating here. Funky Munky won a conditionals' race at Catterick earlier this month and is another to consider under a 7lb claimer while Grey Area has been tumbling down the weights and hinted at a revival over a longer trip at Carlisle. Mubrook was second at Uttoxeter last month while Deportation, Northern Acres, Mrs Grass and Innocent Girl are others who have been placed recently.
