      In depth

      Verdict

      POWERFUL MELODY has done nothing wrong in a couple of starts and with the latest of those a handicap debut win on soft ground he's given the call to follow up. This well bred unexposed runner looks to have plenty left to offer so from a plum draw and under just 5lb extra he should make it three from three. Joseph Lister is from a yard in form but was well held from his current rating last time and Dubara Reef could have his say after a cosy enough score last time but he has to prove a liking for the ground. A small field to choose from and no need to look past the top one Powerful Melody.
