Verdict

DUKE OF MALFI is given the vote in a competitive finale. Now a pound below his last winning mark, this Alflora gelding is expected to step up markedly on his Bangor reappearance last month. Against The Wind ran well here last time out behind Janal, whilst the latter has since suffered defeat at Worcester and has a little to prove. Dark Gentleman is dangerously well-handicapped back over fences, Lerida should come on for his spin round Worcester, whilst Norminster remains capable of better. Tiger King is more reliable and along with the chasing debutant Gavroche Gaugain is entitled to plenty of respect in this line-up.
