Verdict
A good run from Melody Of Scotland earlier on the card would be a boost to the chances of PSYCHEDELIC ROCK following up a hard-fought win at Worcester last month. A 4lb rise is not excessive as Edward Austin again takes off 7lb. Bugsie Malone is possibly better over fences but did win at Worcester last month before finding one too good at Fontwell and the return to a longer trip will suit. Ennistown is a fair stayer on his day and has placed at Cartmel and Worcester this summer. He’s now blinkered in an attempt to take a further step forward. Accord and Havisham could also figure but Buckle Street downed tools at the start on his reappearance so is probably best watched here.
