Verdict
Malangen is upped in grade bidding for a four-timer but is clearly in good heart and should make his presence felt again but Jaisalmer has been chasing and the ground is also an unknown for a number of the others including Ballygown Bay, Rebel Royal and Fontwell runner-up Special Acceptance. NEVERBEEN TO PARIS won on fast going on the Flat, however, and should have plenty more to offer over hurdles having quickly put toiling rivals to the sword over this trip at Ludlow when making his handicap debut.
