      Verdict

      ANGE DE MALBERAUX got off the mark over hurdles at the seventh time of asking when scoring over slightly further at Sedgefield on Tuesday but he was clear at this trip and can defy a penalty. Italian Riviera won at Limerick in July but makes his debut for new connections while Gunner Lindley was caught in the closing stages over the minimum at Hexham and has never won over timber in 22 starts. Catchthemoonlight has been in good form at a similar level this summer but she's another maiden with 17 starts behind her which is one less than Definitely Glad, who has also been beaten six times in bumpers and over fences.
