Verdict

Staffhoss finished well ahead of Indian Giver when going close at Hamilton and has every chance with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Jersey Brown has been threatening to get her head in front off similar marks and makes more appeal than Ebony Clarets. But KISS OF SPRING has the most scope making her handicap debut having shown promise with placed efforts in maiden company - David O'Meara's filly can open her account.
