Verdict

Melgate Melody returns to action off a 6lb higher mark having won at Newcastle in November while Scruffy Mcguffy hasn’t raced since landing a double on the Turf in August. Sublimation is getting closer having just missed out here last month but SCRIBNER CREEK gets another chance. The latter won at Chelmsford before failing by only a nose to catch the winner at Nottingham on his latest start and can go one better back in this lower grade.
