Most of these can be given a chance though Lordsbridge Girl’s recent double came over a mile while both Kensington Agent and Royal Bliss placed over 6f here. So Chic went close in a lower grade contest but ABBEY’S DREAM escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race under Mark Winn and the latter can claim his full allowance in this. Novice winner Silver Nightfall is preferred to Shot of the remainder.
