Melwood Boy

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood| T: H Palmer

Massaat gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Eagle Orb. Interesting newcomer, especially with yard amongst the winners.

12/1

Offered something to work on when fifth of 7 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 38 days ago, not knocked about. Capable of better.

Killing Eve¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: K Scott

Forecasts

Man Of Eden (2/5), Admiral Jack (5/1), Melwood Boy (7/1), Latest Edition (12/1), Positive Force (22/1), Nefyn Dawn (22/1), Killing Eve (125/1), Beyond Beauty (200/1)

MAN OF EDEN sets a clear standard starting out for a new yard so he has to be considered the one to beat, though strong market support for newcomer Melwood Boy would put a slightly different slant on matters. Latest Edition shaped with some encouragement on last month's debut at Southwell and shouldn't be overlooked, either.
