Meriden has won three of her last six outings in a sustained winning surge, and while the handicapper has raised her sharply, she is related to a Listed performer and may not be finished improving; today's ground and trip suit. Aviatrice has a clear excuse for her Cork run and is well-treated on her all-weather form, feared alongside Mallavelly, who has sound credentials on a better surface and had excuses on both starts this season. Nancy J's step back up to her preferred distance is the key angle for her. Meriden is our selection.
