Deeply Superficial is fitted with a tongue-tie on her first appearance since wind surgery - she was fourth in this grade last time at Naas. Harry Skelton prefers She's A Saint to Vicki Vale with his mount having beaten a subsequent winner at Ffos Las but YOU WEAR IT WELL’s second to the Ballymore favourite Hermes Allen in the Challow at Newbury is the stand-out form and she is the one to beat with her yard having also won this nice prize two years ago. Touchy Feely will need to take a big step forward from her two wins to date if she is to complete the hat-trick.
