Verdict

Most of these having questions to answer of one form or another, but BUGSIE MALONE was a C&D winner last time out who has gone up 4lb for that, which seems fair, and arriving here in good form he may be able to secure the double off what could still be a workable mark (placed off 122 in the past). He is taken to see off Buster Thomas, who won well at Wincanton last time but slightly fortunate there, and recent Fontwell scorer Favorito Buck's.
