        Verdict

        Golden Melody hasn’t won since his racecourse debut last year but hasn’t been beaten far the last twice. IRON SHERIFF is 7lb better off than when slowly away and beaten a couple of lengths by Cliffcake at Wetherby in June and could turn the tables today on the subsequent Nottingham winner. Available Angel started favourite for a classified race at Bath 11 days ago but again found one too good and this is more competitive while Blue Honey was a disappointment on her handicap debut.
