Verdict

A trappy contest which looks there for the taking and it could pay to give BUGSIE MALONE another chance on the strength of the promise he showed in a better race at Newbury on his chasing debut. He took a step backwards in testing conditions at Chepstow last time but this ground should be much more to his liking. A longer trip is likely to see Mango Cap in a better light whilst it would be no surprise to see Handsome Sam feature prominently.
