Kilvickeon is selected here ahead of Knead The Dough and Lady Hopeful. Kilvickeon comes into the reckoning based on his course and distance third behind Stir Crazy last time, that run coming following a slow start. Knead The Dough caused a shock when scoring in a Yarmouth maiden last time and looks to be a major player even if only building slightly on that. Lady Hopeful returns to the course and distance scene of her sole Turf win - albeit it on good to soft - so merits consideration, while, only lightly raced, Lawdy Miss Clawdy ran pretty well over six furlongs here last time and the drop in trip today could help the cause. Finally, first-time blinkers might produce improvement from Mannello and Flower Of Cork's best run to date came at around this level but, once again, for the selection, we will side with Kilvickeon.
