Stonific has placed the last twice and East End Girl, who won on the all-weather over the summer, wasn’t beaten far back over hurdles at Worcester. Kai Lenihan has ridden GERARD MENTOR in three of his four victories to date and the partnership was touched off at Exeter 12 days ago when Turpin Gold was unplaced and Lady Valentine pulled up. Ez Tiger seems best at Southwell but the returning Ito Ditto could be worth a market check.
