Maloof was sent off favourite over a mile at Nottingham last time but a ran a shocker. Connections waste no time in stepping him up in trip and he gets a first-time visor. SAMANDA was wearing headgear for the first time when a close-up fourth over C&D a fortnight ago with Cardi King and Ultimate Best behind. There should be more to come from Luca Cumani's charge over middle-distances and he gets the vote. Evergreen Forest has the form on turf to figure, but was well beaten in both previous visits to this track and has something to prove now.
