Verdict
JENNYS MELODY won the bumper on this card a year ago and easily swept aside her three opponents to gain her first success over timber at Newcastle last month. She'll be a short price here and very difficult to beat. Kilas Girl landed a point-to-point in Ireland before joining John Quinn. She pulled up injured on her debut for the yard but showed that there are races to be won with her when runner-up to Donna's Pride at Catterick and looks the obvious danger. Monbeg Dolly was on the retreat when unshipping Wilson Renwick at Bangor and may need a bit more time.
