In depth

Verdict

Maliboo has won over hurdles recently and easily won a match over fences four days ago at Wincanton when racing off a higher mark. Neil Mulholland is obviously keen to strike again while the iron is hot but JUST GO FOR IT, a previous course winner, can make a race of it receiving 16lb having returned to form last month. Queen Of Fame is 0-16 but could place if on a going day and I Spy A Diva is not out of this, though disappointed on her handicap debut. Call Blue runs in her first handicap but needs improvement.
