Ron Harris's runners are in decent enough form and he can have another winner here with Trinculo, who looks good enough to get the better of Master Malarkey, Kindallachan and Willofcourse. Trinculo is fairly versatile over five, six and seven furlongs and was winning over the latter trip at Chepstow last time, when he did so comfortably. An 8lb rise looks fair enough and he possesses enough speed to be effective back over this trip, so he is taken to score. Master Malarkey was steps back up in trip after being runner up at both Brighton and Yarmouth over 5f on his last two starts. A 3lb higher mark now won't help his cause and he is just opposed. Kindallachan was runner up in a poor maiden last time and although she might go well it would appear unlikely that she will break her duck again here. Willofcourse is back on a mark from which he has previously been competitive and over this trip he should be thereabouts. Little else makes any appeal and Trinculo can take what is a poor race.
