Verdict

MELLYS FLYER is on the up since dropped back to this trip and he was well on top at the finish when scoring over C&D a month ago, so the hat-trick looks firmly on the cards unless he gets in a speed duel with Enduring. Fellow last-time-out winner Night Narcissus should be thereabouts again and a bigger effort from Arousing can't be ruled out.

  1. MELLYS FLYER
  2. NIGHT NARCISSUS (IRE)
  3. AROUSING
