Though is decent form on the Flat this year, The Resdev Way has yet to show any aptitude for jumping. Malangen comes up against older horses for the first time and never looked like winning at Plumpton last month. Better ground appeared to suit UNSAFE CONDUCT at Newton Abbot in May and, back in novice company, Colin Tizzard’s charge could well make a winning reappearance. Pirate Look and Mr Washington could also be in the firing-line if fully wound-up.
