Verdict
KISS N CUDDLE missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up at Beverley but was beaten only a neck and should go close again racing off the same mark given today’s moderate opposition. Evolicatt is penalised for landing a Southwell maiden on Friday and most of the remainder make their handicap debuts including Midnight Flame and Chuck Taylor, who step up in trip today.
