Verdict
Give A Little Back finished in front of Weloof when going close at Kempton and Perfect Gentleman has been in good form at the latter track. Pearly Star’s won at Chester earlier while Strangerontheshore was beaten only a neck at Doncaster in June. NIKKI’S GIRL (NAP) struggled at Newmarket a fortnight ago but placed over track and trip before that and Morgan Cole takes 5lb off her back for this.
