Verdict

Mr Malarkey can give in-form Hayley Turner another winning ride, with Dancing Mystery, Harrison's Flyer and Whitbarrow others to consider. Mr Malarkey is a course winner here and has been running well in defeat all season, having been placed a number of times. Beaten a short-head by Fictional in a class 3 contest at Newmarket in July, he has the class to come out on top here. He should just about be capable of reversing earlier course form with Dancing Mystery on a pound better terms for three-parts-of-a-length. Harrison's Flyer is another that is closely matched on a line through Foley Millennium, and along with One Way Ticket gives Milton Bradley a strong hand. Whitbarrow has beaten much better rivals than this in the past, but has failed to get his head in front since last summer. Even so, he is a danger to all, but the consistent Mr Malarkey gets the nod.
