Verdict
The addition of blinkers has brought improvement from MASTER MALCOLM and he won eased down over track and trip last time. Course regular Thundersockssundae won on this card last year though was beaten by Out The Glen here before that and the latter finished second on his latest start while Chestnut Pete went close over a shorter trip at Hereford. Tom Creen remains unexposed over fences and is preferred to Duke Of Luckley.
