        Verdict

        Storm Melody ended a long losing run with a victory at Wolverhampton but could only manage fourth last time. Bernie's Boy has struggled since scoring at Wolverhampton in January while Aguerooo and Amazing Amaya only won classified events over the minimum trip on their penultimate starts. The former is trained by Charlie Wallis, who has sent out the last two winners of this including PRECIOUS PLUM in 2019. The latter has won three times subsequently and is back on a winning mark so could well make Hayley Turner’s only ride on the card a winning one.
