      Verdict

      KIRSTYS LAD is taken to get back to winning ways in division two of this handicap at the main expense of Malinsa Blue. The selection is 4lb higher than when winning over course and distance last month and went well over an inadequate 7f last time. Michael Mullineaux's gelding should appreciate the return to this longer trip and with another winner this week there is no concern over the yard's form so from a good draw she can score. Malinsa Blue is up 3lb for a staying on win here last time, her first start on the Polytrack. Consistency is not always her strong point though and she is no good thing tonight. Victory Spirit wasn't far away here last month when this trip appeared to suit and so another good run is not ruled out. Royal Encore has stamina doubts over this trip while Putra Laju would have a great chance at these weights if at his best, but like his yard he is not in great form and we'll take Kirstys Lad here.
