        Verdict

        Both Storm Melody and DELAGATE THIS LORD won over a slightly shorter trip on the same card at Bath recently. The former is 7lb higher today and had earlier finished behind the latter at the same track and Michael Attwater’s charge may just edge this. A tongue-tie is fitted to Sundiata having returned a losing favourite in both outings after winning at Lingfield in March while Bristol Missile’s earlier success cane over a mile in soft ground at Hamilton. Glory looks no nearer winning but slips further down the weights.
