FORTUNES MELODY, the only four-year-old in the line-up, has been competing in graded company in France having won a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in September. She looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark for Harry Fry before going on to better things. Yauthym has now had 15 starts without winning but has a placed effort in a Doncaster Listed race to her credit and looks the main threat. Wilderness, four-times a winner on the Flat in Ireland and rated 85, is a fine addition to Seamus Mullins' team while winning point-to-pointer Starvoski should improve from her two runs to date.
