Verdict

MELBURNIAN shaped much better than the bare result when fourth at Listowel, finishing with running left having met trouble, and is of interest off a similar mark. This does look competitive, though, with progressive-pair Powerful Ted and Layfayette heading the dangers.

  1. MELBURNIAN (FR)
  2. POWERFUL TED (IRE)
