MELINDA (1.40 Ayr, nap)
Looks a handicap snip for Lucinda Russell. We usually think of the Scottish trainer sending out staying chase winners but she can strike on the Flat with this daughter of Churchill who has been brought along nice and slowly. She had just one run for Joseph O’Brien in Ireland before moving to Russell’s yard. There was plenty to like about her staying-on fourth at Carlisle last time to earn a fair looking handicap mark of 70. She is certainly bred to be better than that and can go close at fair odds in what looks an open contest.
FAIRY GLEN (3.10 Bath, nb)
Left it a stride too late when second in a Longchamp Listed contest last month. She sees out this trip strongly and can score for the Crisfords.
HARRYS HOPE (4.43 Exeter, treble)
Was an impressive winner on chase debut, coming home with seven lengths to spare at Southwell. She will be hard to stop under a 7lb penalty.
INDIVAR (6.00 Southwell, Lucky 15)
This son of Blue Point clocked a speedy time when winning at Newcastle and today’s trip is his favourite.
