Hove Bags Race 4 - Race 4

TAYLORS MELODY (1) is a last start placegetter in a D4, jumping from this trap and finishing a 1.5 lengths second over 285m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including two wins and three placings from nine starts. Tough to beat on best. SMALL BOSS (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Bluestar Beauty (17.24) in a D3. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to feature. HYPNODISC (4) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 4 lengths away in fourth (17.25). Finished second the start before. Worth another chance. FLYERS GEEZER (6) will give backers a sight.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 285m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
