Verdict
Kentford Mallard has been in decent form this summer, winning at Southwell in June, but JOSIE ABBING likes it here and Graeme McPherson’s mare is preferred at the weights with Lilly Pinchin taking off 3lb. Gibraltarian didn’t run very well on the Flat last month but did win at Newton Abbot earlier, though is 5lb higher now.
