Verdict

MELLENCAMP (5) chased gamely into the placings when resuming on the Beaumont and now rises sharply to a pet trip. Yet to win second-up but his track and trip record is hard to ignore. FLAMBOYANT LAD (1) is knocking on the door and has enough early to offset the wide draw, though this is his first look at the mile. If he gets his own way in front he could be tricky to run down. BIG SHORT (7) comes off a decisive BM50 win at Tamworth and is proven at the trip, but he comes from picnic grade into a harder meeting. Keeping safe for a minor spot. ZOU BIG BOY (4) didn't handle the tough conditions last time but is clearly better than that and will appreciate getting back on to firmer footing.
