In depth
Verdict
Eyes is the only course winner in the line-up having won a seller here a couple of weeks ago, her first victory. Baby Sham has been beaten off this mark the last twice but PUFFIN ISLAND was staying on strongly behind The Good Ting over 6f at Kempton and, with the longer trip certain to suit, looks the one to beat. Katie's Kitten was only beaten just over a length at Lingfield despite being impeded and could provide the main threat.
