Verdict
Bugsie Malone only had a head to spare over Cloudy Bob here a couple of weeks ago but is better off at the weights here and should be capable of confirming the form on ground that obviously suits. Third-placed Get Involved had every chance and looks held while Wilberdragon was very disappointing at Leicester in February. GLOBALISATION isn't the most consistent but is up to this at his best and likes the ground as he showed when dead-heating at Ffos Las in November. A run over hurdles last month should have put him straight and he can return to winning ways. Fields of Glory has only ever won when ridden by Richard Johnson who is on board Wilberdragon here.
