Verdict
Bitasweetsymphony is back on a winning mark and looks capable of going close in a race short on recent winners but MASTER MALCOLM’s latest second here is working out well and Emma-Jane Bishop’s gelding can record a first victory of the campaign. Keplerian jumped poorly when fourth at Leicester but that run will have taught him plenty.
