Verdict

Flying Kiss has five lengths to find with MEZON on Leicester running and, taking into account Connor Planas’ claim on the latter, is only 2lb better off. George Boughey’s grey ran green at the Midlands track so should have plenty more to offer. Make Clear is a danger if transferring the form of her second at Chelmsford to Turf but Cover Up has been very disappointing. Starstriker’s dam won a Group 3 and she is not highly tried on debut.
