Verdict
Fly Kiss is tentatively selected ahead of Filligree, Rockfield Lodge and Artistic License. Clive Brittain's filly won her maiden here last year and her style of running is ideally suited to a test of this nature. She comes into the race on the back of a couple of fair performances and looks capable of going close. Filligree made a bold bid to defy a penalty at Redcar before having a deserved break. She was progressing well prior to that and has leading claims if resuming in the same form. Rockfield Lodge went close in blinkers last time and should give another good account of himself whilst Artistic License came back to form at Doncaster last time and is feasibly treated if she can build on that. A tight finale with Fly Kiss our idea of the winner.
