Verdict

The likable Denis Hogan-trained, MALBAS continue his winning thread in this contest started at Bellewstown on Wednesday. The gelding carries a penalty for his win but should have enough to hold off any potential challenge from the likes of the improving Mountain Fox, the four-year-old, A Few Bob Short, winner at Gowran Park last month and Loudest Whisper who could hit the frame off a career low mark.
