Verdict
Hardly the ideal 'getting out stakes' for punters with endless possibilities. MELODY KING appeals as still reasonably treated, having been raised 3lb for his recent Sandown success under a fine Oisin Murphy ride. Best held up, he'll need gaps to fall right in this large field but is not ground dependant and has found a consistent vein of form over the last two months. Van Gerwen can be in and out but looks very nicely treated if on a going day and was only just reeled in by Mark's Choice in a decent Ripon handicap latest. Stablemate Good Luck Fox is another leading player and Thrilla In Manila completes a four-strong hand for Paul Midgley along with Harrogate.
