    Verdict

    All five of these won their latest starts with ANTONY getting the nod on his recent course win. A 2lb rise is negated by a conditional’s allowance and Gary Moore’s charge has won off higher marks in the past. Both Bugsie Malone and Shady Glen bid for hat-tricks with the former making most appeal in this grade on the back of a double at Kempton while Kings Lad and Spookydooky were both successful at Exeter on their respective latest outings though the latter is preferred over today’s distance.
