Maygold (7/2), Big Brave Bob (13/2), Gangland (15/2), Diamond Dougal (8/1), Validator (8/1), Alkhalifa (9/1), Beyond Equal (10/1), Kion (12/1), Vegas Boy (16/1), Ragstone View (16/1), Joegogo (20/1), Bungee Jump (25/1), Get Even (50/1)
A tough all sprint card is likely to commence on ever drying ground given the positive weather forecast. Gangland is an obvious candidate for Malton handler Richard Fahey given his quick progression at the back-end of last season, whilst the front-running Bungee Jump (upped in grade) should lead them a merry dance early doors. Big Brave Bob downed the hot favourite Kion when making a winning AW debut at Southwell, and has claims assuming that he can translate that form back to turf, but we'll stick with the Ed Walker trained filly MAYGOLD. She finished runner up at this track in September 2017, before breaking the maiden tag just nine days later at Lingfield Park.
