Verdict
Town Called Malice looked unlucky last time and is the TEAMtalk choice to gain compensation. The William Jarvis-trained was possibly given too much to do when a strong finishing runner-up in a similar heat over this course and distance earlier in the month. The son of Mister Baileys had previously landed a Yarmouth seller and looks the one to beat on these terms. Little Louis takes a significant drop in grade but is still a maiden havng had plenty of chances and is passed over while Eyre O Plain Jane may need this following a seven-week break.
