Verdict
Malystic made a successful debut over slightly shorter here and though well beaten into second behind the long odds-on Alright Sunshine at Musselburgh was conceding the winner 13lb. Basildon was always travelling nicely when favourite for his debut here last month but only got home by a neck from NIKGARDE,who didn't get the run of the race and is better off at the weights. The latter can reverse the form and take this as Dont Tell The Wife weakened quickly at Warwick and may need another run.
