Verdict
Love Kisses and Lieutenant Silver are both making their handicaps debuts so any market interest should be taking seriously. So Hi Class and SO HI STORM run in the same colours and both have won a race apiece. The pair clashed in a claimer over 7f here earlier in the month when the latter came out on top. Karl Burke’s charge is actually a pound better off today so should confirm the form. Toro Dorado has been gelded since slowly away at Yarmouth and may be capable of better over this longer trip.
