Verdict
Maldoun gets the vote to win this claimer with Dream Falcon and Forest Chief rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth in this grade when last seen behind It's Wallace and he need only reproduce that effort to win this with conditions in his favour. Dream Falcon rates the main danger on his best form he was well beaten behind Galey River last time but he is dropping in grade so he is worth noting in the market. Forest Chief finished in mid-division in a maiden hurdle behind Doors To Manual in his native Ireland and is another that is dropping in grade so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Misbehaviour would have a chance at her best but she was very disappointing last time and can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Maldoun.
