Verdict

Harry Derham has won with 3 of the 5 runners he's sent to Hexham from his Lambourn base and can enhance that strike rate with KATIE'S MELODY, who has been shaping up quite well over hurdles and a point win at the start of her career suggests she may do better again now chasing. Killybegs Jet Lady is respected after her good C&D second earlier in the month, while The Clonmel Kid can go well back down in grade.
