This is possibly the best race of the night and one where SWISS KISS can confirm some of the promise that she showed in some of her earlier outings. John Gosden's filly raced a little too exuberantly at Windsor last time and she merely set up the race for her market rival. William Buick is back aboard and he should be fully aware of her foibles. Dalmatia has taken part in three maidens so far and the market will tell us if the handicapper has got his sums right. Grasped returns to racing on an artificial surface having cut little ice on Turf at Beverley. Last Minute Lisa has been a credit to Sylvester Kirk with three victories and a further three placed efforts this season and she won't be far away.
