We are sweet on the chance of Marco Botti's KIYARI here; the list of dangers is headed by Tinkerbelle and Persian Tomcat. The selection was a little unlucky last time out when she was denied a clear run, but she is probably better than she has shown so far and she is worth another chance to prove that she sees out this trip. She has a good draw and she looks the one to beat. Tinkerbelle has been a little disappointing so far but she does have ability and she could be worth a market check on her handicap debut. Persian Tomcat ran a race full of promise when he finished third behind Dark Ranger at Lingfield last time, but like Tinkerbelle, his low draw will make life difficult. Joannadarc could be of interest now that she is upped in trip, although she will have to find some improvement here if she is to get her head in front. A tight race to call and the vote is given to Kiyari.
