Verdict
Abu Malek made a winning debut at Doncaster over a year ago and has switched yards since. He’s conceding weight to the younger horses including GANNON GLORY, who is also penalised but beat a couple of subsequent winners when scoring at Pontefract and can go in again. He’s preferred to stablemate Sheikh Maz Mahood while Cotai West drops back down in trip and Dawson Lane attempts the minimum distance for the first time.
