Verdict
Rock Melody has failed to land the odds the last twice now having finished only fourth at Goodwood last time and EL HIBRI is preferred. The latter finished clear of the rest when second at Kempton and Brian Meehan’s charge can go one better. Court Of Session may improve past the likes of Sandy Paradise and Refai while £68,000 purchase Barley is related to a couple of winners and is a newcomer to note.
