Race preview
MALINA ROAD is unbeaten in two bumpers, having won at Ludlow before taking a Listed contest at Market Rasen, and Fergal O'Brien's mare makes plenty of appeal despite conceding weight all round. Princess Day won on her Rules debut at Chepstow and this flatter track may well see her in a better light. Fairy Park impressed in a point-to-point at Dromahane last April and she commands plenty of respect too.
