Verdict

ST MALO can open his account in this as he improved to finish second over today’s trip at Kempton last time so is preferred to Mutadaffeq. The latter, however, should finish closer on only his second start for David O’Meara after a modest fourth over 1m2f here but the remaining pair have yet to show any worthwhile form. The newcomer Cape Dignity is a half-brother to a winner and would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved.
