Verdict

Malvia makes his handicap debut after showing progressive form in maidens but doesn't look particularly well treated. Hipz was third off this mark at Epsom last month and has place claims again while recent winners Llewellyn and Gold Beau should be thereabouts. Commanche and Potternello have won here in the past and others to consider along with Caltra Colleen and Mendacious Harpy but Indian Affair has been climbing the weights lately. SOME SHOW missed the break over 5f at Sandown last time and never got near the leaders but she was only beaten a length off this mark at Goodwood earlier and has as good a chance as any in an open-looking sprint.
