Verdict

MALACHY'S WISH has progressed well on the all-weather of late and having broken his maiden on turf last season, is fancied to translate that improvement back onto this surface. Bunbury Cup winner Aalto ran well in the International here last time and is also shortlisted alongside the hat-trick seeking Jonny Concrete.
