The Big Bite made a winning debut at Lingfield back in March but MALACHITE will be fancied to make the most of the weight concession. Nicky Henderson’s charge was placed at Ascot last month and can land this with any further progress. Personal Coach and Totterdown have also made the frame in bumpers while Six Gun Serenade, Little Allstar and Commodore Barry have form in point-to-points. Highway Girl is related to winning hurdlers and chasers and may prove best of the newcomers.
