Melchizedek (SR 66, 9/2) carries top-weight 10-3 but has the strongest market signal in the race — a 19% move in — which in a 7-runner nursery handicap on heavy ground at Galway is hard to ignore. The form reads 005, so the last run showed improvement (a 5th rather than a 0), and crucially this is the only runner in the field with DistFit:? and GoingFit:? — meaning there is NO proven negative at this trip or in heavy conditions, unlike rivals who actively carry DistFit:- flags. At 9/2 with that steaming market, connections clearly fancy their chances in a race where every other runner has either poor distance form or a tiny SR. Each-way alternative: Silk Twist. Main danger: Silk Twist — Silk Twist has steamed 22% in the market — the sharpest move in the race — carries a favourable 8-12 at the foot of the weights, and while DistFit:- is a concern, the money coming for it suggests connections believe the trip and heavy ground are not obstacles today.
