        Verdict

        Malek a good winner on similar ground at Southwell last season when defeating Minster Sunshine is taken to score again. The gelding from the Mary Reveley yard looked a progressive sort and is the TEAMtalk selection. Russian Gigolo rates the main danger he is already fit having been a good second to Iris's Gift last time which is fair form he acts on the ground and his stable is in form. Brewster is hard to assess having won a maiden bumper race at Sligo on heavy ground however he is clearly open to improvement and the market may prove the best guide as to what is expected. Point is also a bumper winner but he ran as if in need of the experience when well beaten on his hurdling debut behind Kalca Mome here last time out. Pardon What did not get very far on his hurdling debut but he has a chance on his bumper form and his stable is beginning to hit top form. The remainder look exposed and need to improve on there best to score.
