Verdict
Josie Abbing has switched yards since scoring at Fontwell last month with Kentford Mallard back in fourth. But she’s 9lb higher and is upped a grade for this and SAY NOTHING is preferred. The latter has had a spin on the Flat since winning a novice hurdle at Market Rasen in July and the fast ground will suit Alex Hales’ charge back in handicap company. The remainder are hard to recommend on recent form with Persuer perhaps best of them having slid down the weights.
