Verdict

The recent victory of KISS A PRINCE over Trip Switch at Lingfield was emphatically franked when the latter scored a recent decisive success at the Surrey venue. The Ivory team retain the blinkers here on their charge and he should go close once again despite a 6lb rise for that victory. Dazzling Valentine's last success came here last April and recent efforts signpost that Alan Bailey's filly is ready to oblige again. Expect a strong performance here, whilst Vanilla Rum goes especially well at this track and scored with plenty in hand last time. He's up 10lb for that six-length success but John Mackie's charge remains definite shortlist material in his current form.
