Verdict

Verdict

The unexposed Malachy's Wish has to be respected following his Lingfield win last week, although a 6lb penalty is a slight concern. As a result, preference is for CAVOLO NERO, who beat a decent field at Yarmouth when last seen in June and a 2lb rise appears more than fair on his first appearance for the Harry Eustace team. Rogue Defence is another to arrive with strong form claims.

Top Tip: Cavolo Nero (1)
Watch out for: Malachy's Wish (2)
