In depth
Verdict
The Mellor Fella needed just one run before scoring as a juvenile and made a winning reappearance last year so obviously goes well fresh and looks quite well treated. Paramour has joined Dandy Nicholls and this lightly-raced gelding is one to keep an eye on while the booking of Kieren Fallon for Memory Cloth catches the eye as he won on soft ground in France. THE OSTEOPATH will love the going and managed to score over 7f at Thirsk a week ago, despite the trip being on the short side. He's been raised 4lb but looks ready to complete a quick double. Dubai Dynamo also ran well at Thirsk last week and was in tremendous form at this time a year ago.
