        Verdict

        Captain Cooper made a promising start over track and trip only to disappoint without any apparent excuse back here last time. Abrag also failed to show any progress at Lingfield but both Royal Heart and Chillsea finished closer on their respective latest outings and the latter is upped in distance. But this doesn’t look a particularly strong contest and the newcomer MALHOOB, a $325,000 purchase as a half-brother to a Listed winner in North America, may prove good enough to get involved at the first time of asking.
