Verdict
Kentford Mallard is only 3lb higher than when scoring on good going at Southwell last summer but last week’s penalised Lingfield winner Coillte Eile would have preferred more give in the ground. Fine By Her is not out of this but has run her best races so far at Fakenham. Hay There Mona is another with claims even though she’s a been a shade disappointing in handicaps but the penny seems to be dropping with DANCINGONTHEEDGE (NAP) so Paul Nicholls’ mare gets the nod with Freddie Gingell’s claim a massive plus.
