MELLYS FLYER won at Wolverhampton last month and a 4lb rise is mostly offset by an apprentice’s allowance. He’s preferred to Bobby On The Beat, who scored over track and trip last time but is upped a couple of grades for this. Recon Mission was narrowly beaten over the minimum trip at Epsom on his reappearance but does most of his winning on the Turf while the veteran Mamillius popped-up with a better effort here last week.
