Verdict

Haylaman's close second to Arabian Star at Lingfield was a decent effort but suggests he has a bit to find to go one better here and this is his first run on turf. Little Black Book won his maiden at South well before finishing third in a handicap at Windsor and has claims on that form, while Malthouse is a couple of pounds lower than when fourth to Dee Stakes winner Glen's Diamond at Musselburgh. Ivan Vasilevich returned from a break to win at Yarmouth but we'll take a chance on the fitness of LABORE, who improved with every run last year and showed a willing attitude to get off the mark in a nursery at Wolverhampton in November. He looks the type to win more races as a three-year-old.
