Verdict

Keep Kicking has been in fine form over 2m on the all-weather track here but is 10lb higher than his latest win in February. MISS TIGER LILY is preferred as she won over 2m on the Turf here last season and was beaten only a short-head over 1m5f last time. Harry Dunlop's filly gets the nod racing off the same mark. Bert The Alert went close over 2m in lesser company last time while Royal Marksell scored at Southwell recently but neither have won on this surface as yet. Maison Brillet has scored on Turf before but that was back in 2010 and last month's success came on the Polytrack at Kempton.
