The Noel Meade-trained MELLY AND ME can get off the mark for connections at the eighth time of asking over hurdles and for a yard that boasts a 31% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last three years. The five year-old can build on a number of promising efforts since August and see off the challenge from Gigiplan Two Seven in first-time cheekpieces and interesting hurdling debutante Mason Jar.
