Verdict
Malahide Express is taken to get back on the winning trail now he is dropped into claiming company having been a fair ninth in a better race last time. Aintnecessarilyso rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Playful Spirit but his best form is over a longer trip so for that reason he is opposed. Ladies Knight is another dropping in grade and is from a shrewd yard so is worth a cautionary look in the market. So in a poor race the tentative vote goes to Malahide Express.
