Verdict
Glendown is drawn higher than when scoring over track and trip last month while Burj Malinka returned a beaten favourite at Hamilton having won at the same track before that. APACHE STAR has won twice at Bath this year and a recent neck defeat on heavy going at Nottingham suggests he can score again off his current mark. Granny B won over 5f at Pontefract recently while Loco Lobo and Notre Maison are others upped in distance.
