Verdict
Hugo Palmer sent out last year’s winner and MELWOOD BOY arrives with every chance. The latter made a promising debut when third at Newcastle and can land this with normal progress. Tondeuse also showed promise when placed at Wolverhampton last summer but steps up in trip on her reappearance. Hazel Bear, a runner-up here recently, has the beating of the more-exposed The Toff on these terms. Wadacre Gomez is a newcomer to note.
