King Malachi showed enough when chasing home Green Pride at Windsor last time to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his compass and Neville Callaghan's colt is taken to make the most of the weight that he receives from Dusty City, with More Time rated the best of the remainder. The selection showed promise on his Kempton debut and stepped up on that when headed inside the final furlong at Windsor last time. Dusty City is an obvious danger on the evidence of his last time out third behind Ooh Aah Camara in Chester's Lilly Agnes at Chester; however, Bill Turner's gelding was well held that day and may struggle to concede weight away all round. With Mick Channon's team of juveniles in such good form, Norman Beckett has to be respected on his debut, while Conciliate has more ot do than when winning at Wolverhampton last time. Mick Quinlan's two-year-olds are going well at present but More Time is held by the selection on running at Windsor and if in the same mood as then King Malachi should take all the beating.
