Malden Flight was another top rated winner when taking the Queen Mother Memorial Cup at Sheffield. Robbie Hart's son of Droopys Vieri was soon in command and won by two lengths from favourite Head Iton Paddy.

Head Iton Paddy was identified as a potential lay but as Betfair weren't running the market I didn't bet. This has happened a few times recently so I'll do some research into alternative approaches to laying, possibly by backing two or three dogs against the 'lay' dog.
