In depth

Verdict

Malaga Boy, Wizard of Edge and Even More are three against the field in another wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Malaga Boy. The selection wion well last time out when beating Kosmos Bleu and although rising in the weights he should improve for the longer trip and , looks the one to be on. Wizard of Edge rates the main danger as he won well when beating Even Moore last time out however that rival is weighted to gain his revenge on revised terms and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Nonantais looks weighted up to his best while Twisted Logic is on a handy mark but has looked a shadow of his formerself of late and for the winner we return to Malaga Boy who won so well last time out.
