Verdict
MOON MELODY rediscovered good form last time when always controlling matters over course and distance. He should be able to handle his 7lb penalty if in the same mood and the old man of the party makes plenty of appeal off the bottom perch with Brian Hughes retaining the ride. Jawaab is running well under both codes but did only land a poor Hexham seller last time, whilst Flinstone hasn't shown enough to be confidently supported whereas both Cusheen Bridge and Perfect Timing do enter calculations if revealing their best.
