GRANDEE DAISY represents last year’s winning yard having romped home over 6f at Kempton on her handicap debut. She beat Nananita, due to run in the first race on the card, with Global Goddess five lengths behind and looks worth sticking with despite today’s longer trip. Delicious also showed a big improvement over track and trip on her latest start and can figure while Fighting Spirit finished runner-up here last time though never threatened the winner. Melgate Magic slips further down the weights with Made Of Talent, Pretty Eyes and Milly Monroe all making their handicap debuts.
