In depth
Verdict
Krissy's Kisses has had six runs and been incredibly inconsistent, running very well three times and finishing tailed off in the other three. She's due a better run here and has the call on official ratings but doesn't look one to trust. Kevin Manning wouldn't be able to do the weight on his stable's Focus On Arminta so takes the ride on SAGA BOLTON and it's Tony Mullins' charge who can take this. He's taking a big step up in trip having raced over an extended 1m1f at Gowran but was staying on strongly last time and should be suited. Brokopondo has no problems with the distance having produced a very good run in a Galway handicap three weeks ago but Shine On was behind the selection at Gowran.
