The Punt Daily: Maddy Playle with three to follow on Thursday

BANKER

The Devils Drop (12.40 Towcester)

Second behind a subsequent Gigginstown House Stud purchase in his only point-to-point, The Devils Drop made an encouraging start to life under rules at Chepstow. The front two, Chooseyourweapon and Gowiththeflow look very smart horses indeed, and he improved dramatically from the rear to mount a brief challenge before getting tired. Mister Malarky, who finished a place behind in fifth, has come out and won nicely at Kempton, so the race may well produce a few nice types. He can capitalise now in calmer waters.
