FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Arch Melody stays a lot closer to owner/trainer/breeder John Morrison’s Tallow base now, having contested a Downpatrick handicap chase last time. He’s potentially interesting back off his hurdles mark, but he did ‘burst’ at Downpatrick, so that’s clearly a worry. You’ve got to respect Gordon Elliott and Tony Martin representatives down the bottom of the weights, though Moghram and Ventnor certainly need to step up on recent evidence. Fleurys Fort and Gone Racing have been there and done that when it comes to winning around Tramore. However on this occasion that pair and the rest may have to give best to AUNTY AUDREY. The handicapper isn’t making it any easier for her. She’d be a most deserving winner on solid form this summer and autumn and her big day might have arrived.
