Verdict
Mallymkun has been holding her form well but in lesser company than this and has only won a Class 6 handicap so far. Three Gracez won at Kempton last time beating several of these in the process. But Elis Eliz, Subtle Knife and RUSSIAN RADIANCE are all weighted to reverse running today with Jonathan Portman's filly just preferred as she landed a double over course and distance at the end of last year. Subtle Knife beat the selection at Lingfield in January and makes more appeal than Apache Storm and Pretty Bubbles despite the latter pair continuing to slide down the weights.
