Verdict

SO TEMPTING showed big improvement when only just failing to reel in a subsequent winner on nursery debut at Chepstow last month and can make amends off only 1 lb higher. Aura of Melania split a pair of subsequent winners herself when third at Ripon so she rates the main threat.

2	Mixed record but ran her best race back down to 6f when third at Ripon 3 weeks ago. That form is working out well so she's a player off the same mark. 2nd Pick 2 Aura Of Melania Jockey: Oisin Mcsweeney Trainer: Roger Fell J: Oisin Mcsweeney T: Roger Fell	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1
