Verdict

MARETTIMO enjoyed the switch to fences when off the mark at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft) in February and can make it 2 wins from 3, with the drop back in trip and better ground to suit following his third at Leicester (20.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Master Malcolm opened his account over C&D last time and is respected, while Call Off The Dogs can improve making his second chase start for Gary Moore.

  1. MARETTIMO (IRE)
  2. MASTER MALCOLM
  3. CALL OFF THE DOGS (IRE)
