Verdict
There should be more to come from GREGORIAN GIRL now she’s got her head in front. Dean Ivory’s filly had a subsequent winner back in third when scoring over today’s trip at Kempton and this doesn’t look a strong race. In The Cove won at Wolverhampton in November and returns to action along with Mohogany, who debuts for a new yard having been gelded with the same comments also applying to Mr Spirit. Both Legend Island and Filles De Fleur make their handicap debuts with preference for the former.
