Verdict
SMOKEY MALONE has a course and distance success to his credit but he's been racing over further for much of the year. However, this is a poor handicap and his overall form can see him back on the winning trail. Lawmans Blis is 1-25 though is steadily dropping to a winnable mark but Timewave's two victories have been on the all-weather and he ran a shocker at Wolverhampton last time. Shalfa ran her best race for some time on Polytrack here last time and a similar run would see her go close but No Diggity has been beaten from the basement mark too often to be considered.
