        Verdict

        Malguru is taken to make it back-to-back wins; Always Best and Black Falcon can also go well. The selection won well last time here in what was a competitive handicap. The horse he beat Lady Valentino goes in the 7.45, so if she runs well then that will give the form a big boost. Always Best loves fast ground so if the going remains quick then he should be capable of giving our selection a race. Black Falcon was well held at Carlisle on Monday, although this extra furlong may help. Grandad Bill looks held by our selection on their meeting last time out, and we will stick with Malguru to land the nightcap.
