Verdict

Oakley Star went close at Newmarket recently but it was soft ground on that occasion and MALIMBI makes more appeal. The latter scored over track and trip last month and new trainer Brian Ellison drops him down a grade for this. Forgiving Glance ran well when runner-up at Bath last time with Western Playboy in close attendance and Louis Steward takes 3lb off his back while Speculator ran better than his finishing position suggests when fifth at Lingfield recently.
